Okay, I was fooling around with the coding and wanted to get a Karma Description mod, so I looked around the internet and decided, rather irrationally, to download the one that Regular SMF had. I opened the code in IE and copied/pasted it into my footer... and now the site always links back to that page, even after clearing the header and footer out and trying everything I could.

Is my site dead forever? Is there saving it? I really need help this time.  :(

Here's a trick that might prevent that from happening again.

If you make a change to your headers, footers, or maybe even the css that screws up your site, you can usually hit your "back" button (sometimes you need to pick the page from the drop down and go back several pages) and get into your forum and make the change. Of course once you close your browser you lose that ability so always make sure your forum is working properly before you close down your browser.

the theme changed... and I can't view any prompts at all.  I can see the message boards and that's it.

Links to clear your headers and footers-
Clear Header: http://XXXXX.smfforfreeX.com/index.php?action=style;sa=clearheader
Clear Footer: http://XXXXX.smfforfreeX.com/index.php?action=style;sa=clearfooter
Replace the Xs with what is appropriate for your forum.
