i did an upgrade following the instructions. you might mention that you dont want to copy over your old config.php file as the upgrade script wont work. luckily i had a backup.

anyway, seems in the previous version i could use html in stories, news, and faqs and it would be parsed even if i had the enable html formatting set to no. in 1.6, i have to turn that on for the html to parse or else it just displays raw html code. this meant i had to go and change everything to blockcode or turn that feature on and fully format using html. kinda of annoying.

also, image thumbnails dont work anymore. for example, in the faq, i have a thumbnail. the thumbnail displays but when you click to enlarge it, nothing happens. IE shows the yellow exclamation point in the lower left with "error on page". i tried this on an XP and a 2000 computer with the same results.

To disable this, remove the following two lines in core.php (Function DeChomp):

Code:

        $var = str_replace("<", "&lt;", $var);     
        $var = str_replace(">", "&gt;", $var);

No, it's a JavaScriptin the HTML part of the site_header template:

Code:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function FullWin(tag) {
   var newWinObj = window.open(tag,'newWin','toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0, menubar=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=1,copyhistory=0,width=950,height=680')
} 
function addNetscapePanel() { 
   if ((typeof window.sidebar == "object") && (typeof window.sidebar.addPanel == "function")) 
   { 
       window.sidebar.addPanel ("$insert[site_name]", "$insert[site_url]/sidebar.php",""); 
   } 
   else 
   { 
       var rv = window.confirm ("This page is enhanced for use with Mozilla.  " + "Would you like to upgrade now?"); 
   if (rv) 
       document.location.href = "http://www.mozilla.org";
   } 
   } 
//--> 
</script>

ah, there we go. i took that whole java script piece out. i saw sidebar and mozilla in there and knew i wasnt using that so i removed it. didnt realize there was another useful function in there.

one note, after adding that back in (and clearing the cache), the thumbnails didnt load at first. i got red x's. i refreshed the page and they showed up. i noticed this behavior before with 1.5x (whatever the last version was). strange, huh?

anyway, i seem to be all fixed up. thanks for the quick help!!! its much appreciated!

Seems like an issue with some versions of GD. Add the following line at the bottom (before ?>) of the thumb.php script:

Code:

header("Location: images/$section/thumbs/$img");
