[Selene]

ok i re-tested same error but only in newreply.php

newthread is working fine!

Make sure your global templates look like this

PHP Code:

$globaltemplates = array(
    'newreply',
    'newpost_attachment',
    'newreply_reviewbit',
    'newreply_reviewbit_ignore',
    'newreply_reviewbit_ignore_global',
    'newpost_attachmentbit',
    'quick_attachment_host',
    'quickattachmenthost_bits',
); 


If it does look like that, post lines 30-40 of your newreply.php file.
