The support people at my ISP phoned me. They "cheated for me this one time only" and raised my memory limit to see if it was in fact a memory issue. "Frank" (the support fellow) had me run the upgrade script while he watched the process memory numbers.
1. The process ran to completion, evidently successfully.
2. He says that the upgrade process alone was requiring as much as 8.7 megs at one point. He also said that my base usage was currently running about 5.5 megs, so I am in shallow water anyway. I have to hope future upgrades will run in less memory.
3. But now, when I go to run the forum, it is back to its original state. I have to figure out what I did to the header.tmpl and footer.tmpl to make it show my navigation column and my banner at the top. I can't seem to make it work. And when I go to upload these two files, my ftp program wants me to select index.tmpl, or root_index.tmpl, or (I think) help_index.tmpl. If I don't pick one, it cancels the upload. I have been picking index.tmpl, and I believe the modified header and footer are in the proper folder, but it still doesn't seem to work. Am I leaving something obvious out?
Further, I have discovered that the navigation column and banner at the top do appear when no one is logged in to the forum. However, when someone logs in, the screen shows up without either the navigation column or the banner. Something is different! Can you help me make it so the navigation column and the banner appear all the time, not just when no one is logged in?
On the one hand, the upgrade is amazing in that it seems to have run flawlessly. On the other hand, it insinuated some issues that have been hard to resolve!
