Dismounted,

I feel like I should apologize for taking your time. You have been most gracious. I would like to think we are making progress. I added the base element to the headinclude template using the absolute URL as suggested. I added to the index-test.php page:

chdir('/home/xxxx/public_html/forum')

The CSS worked in Safari but not Firefox on the index page. I added a link href to the .css file in the index page and now that works (I had to use the absolute URL, relative did not work).

I no longer get error messages and my html footer now displays again. Unfortunately, the original issue remains. The user login status and the calendar view links do not display correctly. I am wondering if this is related to the include itself. If I use a relative path, the page does not work, I only get error codes. The code now is:

include ("http://www.lahabraevents.com/forum/calendar.php");

If you have a magic wand to make this work, I would be most appreciative.

Thanks again,
David
