TheosEleos,

Possibly a problem with the index.php in your /modules/Topics

If you've edited this file, rename it, and upload the original index.php as a test? The string &middot appears there 4 times.

I'll upload the orignial. I don't remember ever doing anything to that file.

I uploaded the original with no change.

TheosEleos,

Still haven't figured out what is causing this. I did find that Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! has the same problem.

I'm still learning PHPNuke, and as I go along, I pick up little bit here and there. The &middot is an html entity, not a reference operator like I originally thought.

&middot: (note it has a semicolon at the end) is a html text character and when used produces the round dot seen (as an example) at the beginning of each item in the default PHP-Nuke Modules block.
This is only a guess but perhaps something is stripping the semi-colon causing it not to be parsed and instead just shows the truncated result as normal text.

I wouldn't have the slightest idea how to track that down.
