Inappropriate?Ouch. So here's something we didn't mention in the updates post (mental note: should post an update to that). Your skin has customized CSS settings (behind the "edit CSS" button), which means it probably relied on a bug in our skin customization system being in place, which it now isn't anymore. )-:
A few details on the bug: The precedence rules for CSS settings were (in increasing order of importance): Things that the skin defined (position of posts, width, etc); after that, the things that were defined in the "custom CSS" text entry box; after that, the customization settings you can set using color choosers and size sliders.
Doing it this way is pretty wrong: Before, you couldn't override any settings with custom CSS rules that were settable via the UI.
As we wanted to make skin customizations more accessible to new users, we made the decision to change the order of preference to: Stuff in the skin - font/size/look customization settings - hand-written CSS rules.
And now, how to fix this.
Since your custom CSS rules seem to have relied on the previous order being in place, it now looks wrong. Most likely this is due to the custom CSS now overriding colors/sizes/etc. that you set using the customization UI.
Fortunately, this is easy to fix: Edit the custom CSS rules (In the Skin tab, click on "Edit CSS...") and delete the rules that cause things to look bad. In my experience, it's easiest to hit "Preview" in between edits to see if these edits worked.
I'm sorry this change is giving you troubles, and I hope that the fix I outlined will work for you.
I’m hoping this will work for you.

Inappropriate?I don't think this is solving my problem.
I didn't make (m)any custom CSS rules, but it seems like the custom colors I picked have gone away. My soup used to be blue, but now it is pink. If I delete CSS rules at random, it turns cyan. And I can't find the color picker any more to edit things without editing CSS.
I’m confused

Ouch, so maybe I was exaggerating the "easiness" of the fix /-:
Could you tell us your soup's name, so we can debug this further? -

Inappropriate?Andreas,
Actually I'm not so familiar to CSS code in order to edit it.
I would appreciate if you or anyone at the Soup support could take a look after it for me.
Reseting my skin to the default theme would already be of great help.
My soup's at ronaldo.soup.io, login name 'ronaldo'.
Thank you! -
