@h_ching Are you using a custom theme? Maybe you should disable your custom theme plugin first. Besides, your .htaccess will be better than htaccess_dist ( if you have changed something, i.e. RewriteBase )

Before upgrade it's recommended to disable all custom plugins then enable them later on.

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your reply.  No, I have never used any custom themes and always used the 'default' theme.  I actually tried to use both  the old .htaccess and the new one with the Rewrite base that's applicable to me.  It didn't help.  I compared the two files with 'diff'  and notice no meaningful differences.  Formatting is my only porblem and everything else seems to work- i can log in, click on links, etc.

I didn't disable plugins before I do the upgrade, but I guess it's a bit late to roll back the upgrade to redo it?

Hello,

I went a little futher and isolated the problem.  It seems to be changes related to the 'data' directory during the upgrade process.  i have update of everything so I redid the upgrade process a few times.

I found that if I performed the upgrade, and then put back the backup data directory, the forming reappears.  If I keep the data directory from the upgrade, the formatting is gone. 

Is it save to keep the old data directory?
