Does this happen while saving the template or viewing the page. If it happens while editing the template, then either you are putting it in the wrong place or you have a misconfigured if statement.

even if I don't edit the template, if I just click save or save and reload I get that error.

Then this means that your template itself has an error.

well that sucks, lol. How do I fix this?

You will have to post this in another forum for support. I will take a look when i can :p However, if it happens without you making an edit, then it's the template itself.

ok, thanks man, I appreciate the help and would appreciate it if you could look into it for me, I can send you the code if needed. when/if you get time.

If you'd like, you can PM me with details with admincp access and such and i will take a look at it tommorow if it has not yet been solved, as it is getting late for me :)

everything installed just wonderfully....two problems...yes it doesn't work on vbadvance's pages....secondly i can get it to submit rather quickly but then it tries to open misc.php and it takes forever to load....i haven't had the patience to wait past 2 minutes....any ideas?

1) Yes, i need to look into the vbadvanced situation.
2) I suggest you take a look at your misc.php and hooks on it, as this shouldn't happen.

what am i looking for? cuz i have no clue.....lmfao i am sorry...i am still learning to understand this stuff. please be patient with me.
