Editting Template Problem

[calumn]

Hello

I am trying to edit the footer template on a forum in order to move the vbulletin copyright (not getting rid of it, just moving it).

However, I do the changes in the footer template and stuff, which is all fine. Then I click save and it says:

Unclosed Curly Brace Expression
This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

I have checked the template and there is the same number of open brackets and close brackets - so if I ignore this error I would expect it to work.

But, when I click to ignore and it is done it gives an error saying that the template is being editted by someone else so my changes havent been saved. It then shows me the original template again so my changes have been reversed.

There is definitely no one else editting the template.

I was wondering, is this some sort of protection to stop people removing the footer? Or is it a bug? Anyone know what to do?
