On the 'Home' (CMS) page it displays:
at the top.
Just so you know, I have NO other mods or styles installed. Bog-standard vb4 Beta5.
PHP 5.3
Apache 2.2.13
MySQL 5.0.83
Linux CentOS

p.s. if you need admin to see for yourself, you're more than welcome, just PM me.

Your not alone, I get the same error.

Im not sure whats interfering with the CMS since this doesnt touch it in the slightest. I might try adjusting the hook location to see if thats fixes it. Can some one with this issues try uninstallaing GCBOS and reuploading all of the files followed by a reinstall. I just want to see if the installer is missing something 8-]

I managed to reproduce this on one of my test sites i think it was due to a damaged template, let me check the XML is correct

Released 0.6.6 PL1; This is a maintance release that contains a fix to the GCBOS template that causes issues in older versions of Internet Explorer.

Can some one running GCBOS who is experiencing the error:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4644

Please link me to their site either by private message, so that i can try to find a fix?

I updated to 0.6.6 PL1 and that didn't change anything for me. It still shows out of whack with the bottom links and IE7 isn't happy with it

Also I noticed that the version says 6.1 PL1 if that means anything.

On a first spot: it works ... thank you!!
