I'm sorry this is taking so long Amy. I'm just not making much progress getting caught up lately. There is an answer to your problem, but I just haven't figured out what to suggest yet. The MOD code additions to your files look fine from what I could tell and I doubt there is a problem in the files I didn't request...

You can easily restore the backups from this MOD...

Restoring EM Backups

If a MOD that you installed with EM hosed your board or you decide that you just don't want it, simply go into EM History in your ACP MOD Center and click on the Details button next to the MOD entry..

On the bottom of the next page, select Restore Backups and press the Go button. Make sure you DON'T select the Remove Record option or you will be forced to manually rolll back the EM backups that were created for you. I will have to walk you through that if need be...

Next you will see a page to confirm eht operation. You would choose Yes:

MODs can only be uninstalled in reverse order that they were installed: FILO (First In, Last Out). So if you installed a MOD, then several others, then decided to remove the first one, you would have to Restore the backups of the other MODs before you could Restore the backups on the first MOD...

Restoring EM Backups (Manual Instructions)

Download the backups folder that EM created for you in the MOD sub-folder found in admin/mods. Strip the .txt extension from each file in every folder in the backups folder. So the resulting file extensions will be php, tpl, css, and cfg. Upload the files back to their proper locations on your board; i.e.

copy backups/admin/*.* to phpBB/admin/*.*
copy backups/includes/*.* to phpBB/includes/*.*
copy backups/language/lang_english/*.* to phpBB/language/lang_english/*.*
copy backups/templates/subSilver/*.* to phpBB/templates/subSilver/*.*
copy backups/*.* to phpBB/*.*

Of course if you have alternate templates and language folders, you will need to copy the files for them as well. I'm referring to phpBB as your forum's root folder in the above copy commands. If your root folder has any other name, just substitute phpBB with the name of your forum's root folder name...

Please. don't apologize! If it weren't for you nobody would be helping me, lol. Take your time...if you come up with something, great, if not I will try reinstalling. I'll hold off for the weekend though, going away and don't want to accidentally kill my board before I leave Rolling Eyes

Thanks again for being willing to even look at this, I really appreciate it.

Amy, have you made any progress on this? I have completely dropped the ball on helping you. If you are still struggling with this, it would be nice to figure it out and resolve it once and for all. Hopefully now that this last hectic week is over, I will have much more time to devote to helping everyone. I didn't do as good as I prefer this past week...

Hi there...so sorry you had such a stressful week =\

I was away for the weekend and left the board alone, so I haven't figured anything out yet, but at the moment no upcoming events seem to be duplicating. I'm not sure what that means, exactly. This is such a strange little problem!

Amy, do you want me to take a closer look at your board for you? If so, send me a PM and we can go from there. There is a logical answer to your problem...
