Hi, I recently upgraded my site from vb version 3.7 to 3.8, and made some style changes. Now I have a > at the top left of my cmps homepage (no other page on the site is affected). I looked at the page source, and it is because there are two '>' instead of one.

<<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html dir="ltr" lang="en">

I have no idea where to find this piece of code to edit it though. Can anyone help?

Here is my homepage (http://www.liverpoolway.co.uk):

If it's only showing up on your homepage then it looks like that character was added to your 'adv_portal' template.

I just checked, and couldn't find it in there. It doesn't show up in the old style I was using before I upgraded.

I need to find that bit of text about <<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC etc but I don't know where it is located.

The 'DOCTYPE' is handled within your StyleVars, but that doesn't appear to be the issue since the < mark would be showing up on every page. If your adv_portal template hasn't been customized then the next thing I would recommend would be to download the files from here again, edit the cmps_index.php file to add your forum path, rename the file to index.php, delete your current index.php file from your server, and then upload the file you just modified in it's place.

I think the problem was I was using an older version of cmps, and it wasn't woprking well with vb 3.8

Upgraded to a newer version of cmps and its fine now.
