problem with shoutbox

Thanks, had a quick look around, but couldn't really see anything untoward.  You do have a couple of articles on the front page,

"Written by One Mini posted in 12 Announcements" which when clicked on say

"An Error Has Occurred!

The category doesn't exist."

I also noticed you have a 2.0.11 upgrade installed in your package manager. And the SMF gallery lite mod, did this install cleanly without any errors when you installed it, because it doesn't if you go to Uninstall it.

I'm still getting the feeling there's something amiss with your files, even though you've uploaded a fresh set.

The gallery mod installed without errors. What would your recommendation be for the site then?

I am a bit confused about the category problem since when looking at the categories, they are shown, so I would assume that they exist.

Sorry for delay in replying, been a tad busy with RL stuff. 

Looking at your error log that Wrap theme is spitting errors amounting to 132 pages so far.  (I know this isn't to do with TP, but I think you need to get that looked at).

When you uploaded a fresh set of SMF files, I'm wondering if some of the old ones didn't get replaced, especially the SMF default theme files. 

I think if it was me I'd start there, and make double sure all the file are new.

Please make a backup of all your existing files first if you're going to do this, just in case.

No worries ... I'm not in any hurry.

What I did was to delete all files from the webserver (after downloading them as a backup) and then run a clean SMF install into a different SQL database. I then changed the database in the SMF admin and re-uploaded the old files directory by directory leaving out those that caused problems.

I can replace the theme files as I still have copies of both the old version (prior to all the problems) and the fresh install locally. Will give it a go when I find a few minutes.
