Hey there everyone! I have had excellent success with you folks in the past and I am having a small problem lately I'm sure will be easy for you guys.
Suddenly one day after months and months of working fine, part of my index page dissapeared. I have a right hand column that goes all the way down the page with several links and pictures etc. At the top of this column there is a Tag;
[code] <?include "http://terrainland.com/forum/extern.php?action=active&show=7";?> [code]
This includes the subjects of the 7 newest posts of my forum. (although my forum is barely active its still a nice neat little feature)
The link in my profile will show you this page.
Everything in the column under that tag will not show up in any browser. Everything will show up however on my computer (not php enabled) and looks fine there.
Can anyone explain what to do to fix this without removing this feature from my page? Also if anyone knows what could have suddenly thrown a wrench into the works, that would be fantastic as well!

Well you have some pretty messy code going on there. Lots of unnecessary tags, it might be worth having a big clean up and validating your code.
The code is missing it's bottom and looking at the page cached in google I can see a little more, but it is still cut off and does not finish.
I don't know what you are making your pages in, but you do have problems, like multiple heads and bodies and no ends...
Do you have a backup copy of the page sitting correctly prior to this batch of work you have done?
You could compare the code from that.

EEEEK!
Dreamweaver is what I was using. I have done a lot of editing in and out things with that and I bet it added a new set of tags every time or something! Yuck, that I haden't noticed. Anyone have a suggestion of something that can fix stuff like that and take out redundant tags?

There would be some site tidy tools around, but it looks to me as if it really needs someone who knows html to give it a going over and then validate the pages.
If you use http://validator.w3.org you can begin to see the errors.
If you are looking in the code you need to remember that everything that opens must close...and that the pages must be structured correctly to ensure that they display correctly. Make sure you do not have more than one of each area...it goes something like this...

Unfortunatly I have all the bad habits of an amateur. Such as too much copy and pasting! I will check out that site, thanks!

Part of my ugly code is I was loading improperly formated pages into my index page. It's funny actually cause that's one of the things I had help with and learned from this board before. For some idiotic reason I had html, head and title tags on files I was including with <?php include('file.php') ?>
The fact that my other tag died suddenly still alludes me though. Grrrrr dreamweaver is making me mad, maybe my version is too old. I still do like the program though. PM me with afordable alternatives if you have any suggestions.

This fix actually worked. Can't explain why, my host would have suddenly not liked it. Perhaps they changed some server settings? Anyways this is what did it,
Thanks, for the help and emails!
