Sorry that I can't help you out anymore on this buddy. Let me know the results. Only thing I can think of if it is the arcade is that it just choked when being installed. But even that makes no sense to goof everything like you say.

Thanks Morty.

Tell me, what *are* all the requirements a decent running forum needs? What would you say is optimum for a ~2000 member forum with the arcade and the blogging thing?

I've just had several people tell me the arcade is bad... but my members really do love it - and so do I - I just hate to have to turn it off.
