WTF, I am getting the error again. Makes no sense. I will screen shot it all later tonight when some more new posts are posted.

I would be willing to bet you need a new <!-- --> tag in the master and home html files.

Ok, I think I have located the problem. I don't think there is any fix as it related to cookies. I have had problem wit hcookies on many other internet software projects. It seems when you access the site through http://followtheangel.org and http://www.followtheangel.org the cookies get all fucked up. When I went to www. it asked me to login. I loged in now all the new post tags work fine when I use www. or when I don't.

Anyway it is cookie issues and nothing can really be done but at least I figure out where the problem was coming from.

hmmm, ok I was wrong. Guess it isn't cookies. I'll have to photoshop what is happening. Just doesn't make any sense why it works once and then not the next time.

No you're right Lithium. One problem is cookies. If not cookies, then at least sessions or whatever PN uses.

The cookie (or session) only allows access to the domain name you sign in to (either www.followtheangel.org or followtheangel.org, not both). I mentioned this before on the forums but no one did anything about it lol.

I always login using http://followtheangel.org ... However, when I click on a http://www.followtheangel.org link on the forums (like a www link to the Furious Angels Gallery), it asks me for my username and password again. It's not a HUGE deal, but it's such an easy fix.

Example: Sign out. Sign in at http://followtheangel.org/. Visit http://www.followtheangel.org and you will see it asks for your username and password again.

I don't have access to the followtheangle.org server so I can't do anything about it.

After 7 hours today (on and off work), I figured out how to do it.

File "modules/PNphpBB2/templates/[whateverthehellyouareusing]/viewtopic_body.tpl"

Change

Code: [Select]
<td colspan="2" height="1"><img src="templates/{T_THEME_NAME}/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" border="0"/></td>

to

Code: [Select]
<td colspan="2" height="3" bgcolor=#000000></td>


Also I know how to get the quote/edit buttons back on top too. (Hint: Its in the same file.)

I'm noting the same thing for once. I also have the bug that Lithium has now.
