Im stumped
try this

in this line
un comment it ( remove //
and add the full path to your forums root dir..
and see if that helps

did you also try with out the edit completely

What text editor are you using?

The plain notepad will add characters to php files you can't see but will mess up the code. Use TextEdit or another compatible text editor for editing php files. With one of these you will be able to see and remove these extra lines/characters.

correct
I use editplus
for years
keeps the format of the file

Excellent.

I've found this to be a lesson many don't know, thought I would bring it up.

Carry on.

I'm not at home so I used the web browser to edit the file. I forgot about not using the right editor. Thanks for the help. I'll be home tomorrow and use notepad++ to edit the file and hopefully correct the issue.
