Error log is on fire (TP 0.8.6 & SMF 1.0.6)

The "Downtime" is not worth worrying about unless you have a very large site.

Carina is right..the 1.0.6 version of Neptune isn't updated for TP0.8. I will shortly get all SMF1.0.5/6 TP-enabled themes up to speed. Mainly its the ones that have TPortalBlocks.template file in them - that has changed a lot since TP0.7.5. So removing that file from Neptune will fix the errors..but Neptune will look a bit strange in the sidebar then.

Confused yet..?

Anyway, I will go over them, just been so busy with the 1.1 theme versions I guess, seems to be most popular ones these days.

I looked for that file. What folder/directory is it in?

It should be right in your Neptune TP folder. If you delete it form there, Neptune will use the one from default folder - which is newer. But the custom one for Neptune has layout changed a bit, to make it look better in the theme.

I am trying to use the wC3xhtml validation tool and it keeps showing 8 errors. I only posted 4 here to give the general idea. It doesn't seem to affect the forum operation. It doesn't leave internal error codes either. When viewed with Internet Ex, it shows error on the page. Couple of questions. Does validation really matter or is it needed? Where would I look for these errors? Index.php?  It speaks of lines, which I understand, but what columns is it referring to? Is there a program of some kind that would help me here?

You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" an element, that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".

Hopefully this is explained well enough to understand.

I need to go trough all code, and i am sure there are quite a few errors to correct - old tags and non-closed tags even.

They are all in template files, and no, they won't hurt anything really...but its very important to follow a standard so your site/script show exactly the same on all browsers. Especially with all the new gadgets nowadays that can show webpages. Some require a "translation" from html to another format, and they rely on it being a set standard.

Ok, thats fine. As I said it seems to work well and I thank you for providing good insight and a great package.

I still cant find those files. Is it BEFORE i reinstall it?  But if i understand correctly, I can use anohter template (besides Neptune) and use the TP to get my side panel on my fourms?

Yes, any TP-adjusted theme can be used.
