I do have the corect path in it, but since it is commented out, it makes not difference. I'm not presently using crontab. I had the following line in my forum index.php page to run article bot.
include_once './articlebot/articlebot.php';

I plan to setup crontab in the coming days, but since it's been several years and different server setups ago since I used it, I wanted to get everything up and funning properly first. This worked fine for in in your first version before upgrading this morning.

If all else fails, I think I'm going to blow away the installation and start over again. I will drop all of the articlebot tables via phpMyAdmin. Then do a fresh install of the new version and see if that will cure it.

There has to be something wrong with one of the database tables, because the process stops when attempting to fetch article bots.

I would just remove the comments.

The comments are part of vB's setup. They do not show up incorrectly in any other of vB's templates.

When modifying templates, it is often helpful to have this setting enabled so you can view the source of a page to determine what template(s) control it.

It's not a big problem to have this disabled, but it is very strange as to why the comments for the templates are incorrectly showing up as part of the article post itself. I'm confused by it.
