The SAME problem happened - the entire forum blanked out!! But this didn't make sense. Everything seemed to be fine before uploading the edited program files. So that means the changes to the database and the new files added for the modification were "safe". Why would these edited files wipe out the forums? I started going through each of the files that were edited. Then I noticed that the main language file was incomplete - there was no ending! I checked my backup of the file that I made before modifying it, and it, too, was cut off. I missed it somehow. Fortunately, I had a backup of my backup still online, and I was able to re-attach the missing 15% of the file at the end. Whew! Eeewwwwww – that was a little scary there for a second, wasn’t it?
