kdf,
I did the browser cache clear...and found that the loading of other skins
did NOT solve the problem.
This may, indeed, be a perl problem.
I've had to re-install using my backup hard disk because the other lost
some capabilities in the process, like the PH2BB that was installed. I
can't remember if it was ever backed up to the image of the harddisk...I'm
restoring it all now and will try again!
Anyway, I need to find a perl that won't COST an arm and a leg. There are
RPM's I see for hundreds of dollars but I don't need the upgrade that bad.
;-)
Cheers,
Jim Clancy
