Please can you disable PPDE and install Topic Preview?
This to check if the extension works or not on your live board.

Before I do that, I have noticed the file size of a CURRENT prosilver is

I have downloaded a NEW one
New Prosilver.PNG
there are indiscrepancies in the file size, I dont know if this is relevant to the Rescue Remedies style

If I upload the NEW downloaded prosilver, will this mess up the red

This is a such a busy forum, i am terrified incase i crash it!

To compare files/folder use an appropriate tool such as Winmerge
The file differences could be due to a Windows hidden file.

As your style use the inheritance there are no risk to replace files.
don't forget to purge the cache after reuploaded files.

This is the same issue with topic preview, so the issue is not on PPDE but with your webserver.

Go on ACP > General > Quick Access > PHP information, then compare your live board with you test board.
Maybe a PHP module is missing.
Does the PHP version are the same?

As your issue is also present with other extension you should open a new topic on phpBB support Forum.
I found that topic that seems similar to your issue.
It may could help.

If it's really a phpBB issue, have you tried to compare all phpBB files between Prod and Test boards?

Hi,

Yes you can enter this link, but it doesn't matter. Because the proper URL is parsed by the extension and not by the one you will enter is the mentionned field.
