Massive Self-Created Error...

Hi there.

Alright straight to the point: I have managed to cause myself a forum error of epic proportions.I was trying to code in a shoutbox, from www.shoutbox.com. I used their code generator to create a shoutbox that has a frame at the top, aswell as the bottom.Next, I created a category called shoutbox, and created a new board within it. For the board's title I entered the code for the shoutbox. I was hopeful this would provide easy access in a pleasing-to-the-eye location. (I didn't want it as a header)But.... then I went to view it.It strangely seemed to end my page at the end of this blue/black/green-ish block. No logged-in users list, or anything after it. It was the end of my page.So I went to edit it. This is what I was faced with:
As you can see, there is no possible way for me to edit, or move the board.Next I tried to just modfy>delete the whole category. No luck there either.So, long story short: does anyone have any idea at all how I could possibly get rid of this?I've been experimenting with headers/footers and I even tried replacing the URL for the shoutbox with something else.. of course it didn't work as the shoutbox isn't an image.Even suggestions, tips... anything other than "delete your forum and start over" would be great! Thank you so much!

Will have to see if SMF can fix this for you.      So that you know, in the future do not EVER put a script or code in a Board or Category Title as it WILL mess up your forum.    You can put one in the Boards "descripton" area and that works fine (of course being very sure you have the code correct)     

I'll send him on a note.

Thank you Sibyl!

I've definitely learned my lesson about code in title boxes.  :buck2:
Although I might note I put another code in a title box and it worked/works fine.
