I am not sure if this is a bug or a damaged file...

I just installed 7.0.1 which went smoothly. I noticed that now, on my portal page, in the upper left hand corner are these two characters displayed: ?> They showed up immediately before I had to go and re-tweak my templates. This does not show up on the Forum List, Search, Calendar or Active Topics pages.

In My Messages and My Preferences I get > in the upper left hand corner.

In My Watched Lists I get > > in the upper left hand corner.

I also get a > at the bottom of the preview screen in the Edit Styles page.


Everything seems to be working properly, just getting those characters showing and I know they don't belong. Any suggestions as to which file or files I might want to look at or reload?

TO see the concern GO TO my forums .

It looks like a file is out of whack somewhere. Since it only appears on some pages it would appear that it's either going to be a script or a language file issue. If you've made changes to your language files, try backing them up and then copying over the stock language files from the 7.0.1 zip and see if that fixes it.

Thanx Rick! After some intense searching I discovered that many of the files in the scripts folder had been corrupted during the upload process. They all had that extra character after the closing php tag. I don't know how that would happen but that is what I have determined. I started editing them one by one and realized it would be quicker to just reload the folder. Wha-La! Thank you again for pointing me in the right direction.
