Then I suggest you look for the one that had you edit the showthread.php file and verify that you did it correctly. Whatever you did in that file is *not* correct because you have the start of a comment and then you commented out the end of the comment line. You can't do that or you will get a page error, as you saw. If you have a "<!--" you need to have a "-->" at the end. "//" says Disregard This Line, so your end comment is being disregarded.
