so one other thig:

check modules section, perhaps you've got some non default module for 1.5 version that changes this with some css styles included to the admin page.

(this module may be a part of 1.6 release)

So last night I went through all the modules. I check what was new versus my old backup (the one where everything is fine) and uninstalled anything that was different. Cleared caches, Recompiled pages and reloaded but the problem is still there. I still find it strange though that when I change the page it comes right and once the page is finished loading it goes all wonky again.  

hello

first thing that i've got in my head: browser cache problem.

it's possible that your browser remember settings from 1.6 this is why you see this kind of "weirdy" looking input fields.

 

have you tried to clear browser cache?

Hi vekia,

I have cleared it several times with no luck. Also tried different browsers with no luck.

I had a copy of an old backup that was done before the site had any real content in. I loaded that and its fine. The minute I load anything after that it goes all funny again. I have tried to load the files I suspected from the old backup to the new to see if it would change anything. I have tried to use (inspect element) in chrome to see if I could find the style sheet and what the problem could be but I'm too new at this and will cause more harm that good. 

As a side note. I have noticed that when I click to a new page. Example clicking on the modules button. When the page changes it comes right again. Once the page has loaded it goes all weird.
