Do you want it a quote of the day or just pop a different quote in the box every time the box is hit?

I want a different quote each time the page is loaded/visited. We have several thousand MORE quotes to add from all sorts of contributors, but I started with these from the newsletter so get it working.

Thanks for your help. I think there might be a separate problem with our site right now. I got the same error message when I tried to update the custom member titles (i.e. I tried to change the number of posts you need to become a Top 10 Poster, and I got the same error as above. It did add the new number however, so I don't know what is going on. Perhaps we've found a new bug with this version or something.

Okay.. it appears there's a different problem going on. I wonder if anyone can help.

No matter what change we try to make in the control panel to the portal section, including the existing portals, we get this error message:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting '(' in /www/jpfolks.com/web/forum/cache_builders/custom/portal_box_4.php on line 8

I am not sure what to do next? We've noticed our header has disappeared on our boards as well and I was trying to get in to fix it and realized there's a much larger problem going on?

I ended up having to completely delete it to get it back working. Now we're having an odd side effect. The header on our boards which is just a graphic doesn't load for many folks using IE. We even see that problem on our own home computers where one will load it and one won't. Even stranger, the same computer that won't load it, when accessing via AOL's browser it shows up, but not when directly via IE. I have no idea what could be causing that. If it were just one computer obviously it would be a problem with that browser, but multiple users have reported the same problem. I wonder if some setting on IE could cause the top header to not load? Anyone ever heard of such a thing?

I also thought perhaps it wasn't loading for anyone, but was simply in the Cache.. but we cleared everything out and it still loads on one computer and not the other.

So I guess we're not meant to have random quotes on our site. I wouldn't even know where to being to "debug" something. That's why I was asking here in the first place.

Thanks,

Brian
