You need to give exact details of what you have done. Evidentally you have not done it right or probably it would not be just you complaining.

Post your XPRPOFILE entries and template changes.

In the xprofile part on the forum login page i put-

[Favorite game]
title=favorite game
maxlength=50
access=all
visible=all

[favorite game character]
title=favorite game character
access=all
visible=all


-Then in the "profile_view_body.tpl" template i put {XPROFILE} in between the two catagories that i wanted. now both of them appear, but like i said, it just doesnt save the changes.

access=admin
visible=all

[admincomments]
title=admin notes
access=admin
visible=admin

[birthday]
title=My Birthday
access=user
visible=all

[filmquote]
title=Favourite Film Quote
access=user
visible=all

and this in profile_add_body.tpl

</form>
Now I have other changes in other template files, but only so you can see the birthday and film quote when someone has posted a message.

The above are the main problems, it has completely wiped the fields in the profile_add_body.tpl. Anyone got any ideas?

I think this is probably my fault Some templates got mistakenly wiped by bugs in the forum moving/culling procedures.

I am just glad it wasn't me, the members are blaming me for tinkering , but I knew I hadn't been. Was beginning to suspect sleep-editing

Just a quickie regarding this, didn't manage to get to look at it yesterday. How do I get these back again?

The correct details are in the correct template files and other template edits such as the logo still appear OK.

I have tried re-entering the information on the template files and re-submitting but to no avail. Do I need to redo the whole template?

Thanks
Mark

Have you got {XPROFILE} in profile add body?

Actually can you tell me which template you have the issue with, and where a specific profile field is missing from?

I am not convinced as of the minute that you were effected by "my" bug. I had just assumed this was me, but as far as I can see your last template edits of myff_holidaychat3 were from May 18th and nothing has been deleted.

I do see an issue I think you need to go to the owners control panel and save.
