3.05 update disaster

[docvader]

I carefully updated all of my 3.03 files, using zizasoft compare program, directly on my server, and for some reason, I've lost the forum index page. I can surf around inside the admin CP area, but, when going to the main index page, I get a blank white page.

I did not do a fresh install of the upgrade, because I have about twenty hacks on the board, all of which were co existing nicely before the upgrade. I have no doubt that this is something simple. I updated the forum by copying the entire forum directory on the server, updated all of those files to the new version (with the hacks within), and once updated, renamed the updated version to the old version on the server, and ran the upgrade.php file. This way, the I retained a back up of the original. (Which functions, without some hacks functioning...)

I can cruise through the entire forum, but cannot get the main forum index page to visualize. It has to be something really stupid. Can anyone tell me what files control the main forum index page??? I've looked around, but I can't seem to find an error. Yet...

Thanks
