Once you do admin>manage styles, the headers and footers is along the top, not on side.

If the headers/footers tab is still gone, show us a picture.

Esem.   It could be a code you are using has somehow caused this.   Try the following and if it helps you to then see the Header/Footer link then copy your codes to Notepad or someplace where you can save them and clear your header/footer out.   See if that fixes it.   If it doesnt let me know and Ill have SMF for Free take a look.

i disabled java script and managed to see the header/footers tab again, i tried to remove all the code from the header and footer and pressed save changes but all i got was the message on a blank page saying: "cannot open file"

Did you click the  "Remove Footers"  button in Edit HEaders/Footers then press "Save Changes" and that is when you got that message?  Also tried manually deleting everything out then pressing to save?

Ok.  I'm going to shoot a note to SMF for Free and have him clear that out for you.

Andrew he can get to the Header/Footer area now, read back a few posts.  Thats not the issue now.  He cannot clear the footer out.  It tosses an error.   Ive sent SMF a note to clear it for him as it has some messed up code in it.

Looking through the source I think I found the problem already.
Code: [Select]
<center><embed bgcolor="#000000" src=http://www.xatech.com/web_gear/chat/chat.swf quality=high width=600 height=405 name=chat FlashVars="id=12391009" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.xat.com/update_flash.shtml" /><br><br><font color="#9f6116">Mugen-Lair, your best M.U.G.E.N. forum: Join Now & Have Fun!</font></center><script>if (window.location.href.substring(0,84)=="http://mugenlair.freesmfhosting.com/index.php?action=membergroups;sa=members;group=1"){ $(".windowbg2:contains(iberz)").remove();$(".windowbg2:contains(notmyreal)").remove();}

The script tag isn't closed.

I know.  Thats why I said the codes messed up.  He cannot edit that as he can not save the Footers.


I sent SMF a note and will wait for him to fix it for him.
