1) I tried it and it didn't work.

2) The other one I'll check once I get my Plug-ins are working.

3) I see what you're saying. It just doesn't display particularly well in my browser, but it may just be MSN explorer. Mozilla displays it fine.

Did you undo the changes after you tried? I ask because your source still shows this :-

<link rel="pingback" href="<br />
<b>Notice</b>:  Undefined property:  pingback_url in <b>/hermes/web05/b742/pow.adamsweb/htdocs/blog/inc/MODEL/dataobjects/_dataobject.class.php</b> on line <b>461</b><br />
" />

Which is the first thing that should have been corrected by the changes.

To get your plugins to work you need to add the ini_set("memory_limit","12M"); line to your conf/_config.php file (just after the <?php line)

You might find that curing the "undefined property" error also helps clear your display problems in msn explorer ...... but don't quote me on that one as I personally think the only cure is to shoot every version of explorer in existence ;)

Thanks for your helpe. my remaining issue is that the code given sets it so comments and Trackbacks don't display. I want them to display.

Ooops, looks like I missed a bit out off the skin changes instructions :p ( I'm blonde, make allowances).

In _main.php, find a piece of code that looks similar to this and change it :-

		<?php
			// ------------- START OF INCLUDE FOR COMMENTS, TRACKBACK, PINGBACK, ETC. -------------
			$disp_comments = 1;					// Display the comments if requested
			$disp_comment_form = 1;			// Display the comments form if comments requested
			$disp_trackbacks = 1;				// Display the trackbacks if requested

			$disp_trackback_url = 1;		// Display the trackbal URL if trackbacks requested
			$disp_pingbacks = 1;				// Display the pingbacks if requested
			require( dirname(__FILE__).'/_feedback.php' );
			// -------------- END OF INCLUDE FOR COMMENTS, TRACKBACK, PINGBACK, ETC. --------------

			locale_restore_previous();	// Restore previous locale (Blog locale)
		?>

I've updated my blog post to include it ..... tad late, but better than never :p

The code I inserted was pretty much what was there previously and I still don't see the Trackbacks or comments.

I've just been to look at your blog and it appears that you have them working now :D
