Hi coRpSE, tell me is it possible for any code to be stripped out of your files on a internet host server. the reason is, I did your forum mods and they worked well no problem, there were only to files to do (viewtopic.php and viewtopic_body.tpl) just for forum, it completely vanished from the forums, so I downloaded the two files, viewtopic.php was fine, but viewtopic_body.tpl the code had completely gone.   I put the code back and it was fine. Could this be a shared server thing.

Yes, it can and has happened. I have experienced this on multiple host over the past 20 years of having websites, and I believe it is due to maybe them doing some sort of backup/update, they probably put the site back to the most recent copy they had, maybe before they started what ever they were doing. But I have had it happen befor, and I can only guess on why it happens. I think I have only seen this happen, maybe, a handful of times. It's pretty rare.

Thanks for that coRpSE, I know you have experience with server, that's why I asked you.
