Are you sure the line 264 error still happens? That should have been resolved. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums

Thanks for that the login page is back to normal, the only problem now is the announcement portal displays as { COMPONENT_ANNOUNCE } also (and I know it seems picky) the "latest post" portal isnt the same heading and style as the others, is there a way to change it?

I think that happens because the underlying issue is that guest have no permission to search the forum. You need to fix this, or portals that are doing a search are never going to work, as such the cosmetics issues that arise are not really a point of concern, as the portal will always give some kind or error unless the permissions are fixed. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums

Portal work using guest permissions. Search permissions in phpbb3 are different to viewing permissions. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums

Did you set the guest search permisions? Under the permissions for the anonymous user, there is an option for "user can search the forum" _________________ Harsh Reality - Unleash your creativity! Harsh Reality

Thanks, thats solved it. I could have sworn it was set as that already but obviously not.

I know that was what Admin was getting at but I am a dummy and needed that info above.

Thanks again

Case closed (fingers crossed)
