thanks for responding. I was just reading the upgrade instructions.
I tried turning off the compatibility mode and I got a weird message "input message not found" when I would try to display the forums. So, I figure this is like the 404.
so.. I am going to upgrade. I figure that should fix the problem with turning off the compatibility mode. After the upgrade, I should be able to turn it off without a problem, and then I hope it will get spidered if that ? is gone (fingers crossed).
