Just delete all this code out of your header and the text box should be gone
<form>
<textarea rows="10" cols="20"
style="background:#000000
stylr="front-family:"
style="color:#c0c0c0"
style="border style:dash"
wrap="virtual">text here<
</textarea>
</form>

you should be able to delete it. Are you hitting submit/save when done. If it is not deleting this would be something for Markus are Peter.
But Try logging out of the CP and your board. then log back in and see if it works for you. |

It isn't doing anything. I hit the save button a few times and it hasn't done anything..
This is fusterating.

You will not have to delete your forum. I am not sure why it is not deleting the code for you. Maybe Markus or Peter can go in and fix it up for you. But you will not have to delete the forum lol |

I think the problem is in the way the forum software parses the code in the header and footer boxes. Since the boxes where the code goes are textareas, and </textarea> tag could trick the parser into ending the header/footer box too early. When that happens, extra HTML gets added into the box and all the boxes below it disappear. I made that happen a slightly different way, and I was able to fix it by adding and </script>. It's possible that this worked because I caused the error with a script, but if you can't do anything else, try doing the following as a last resort.
Add this to the top of the screwed up box:
<script language="javascript">
<!--
Then copy (don't cut) out all the code you want to save from the screwed up box. Click save. Now you've got an error caused by a different problem. Go back to the page and find where the code you want to keep ends. Add this to the very bottom:
//-->
</script>
Save it. If your browser starts complaining about all kinds of errors when you refresh your forum page, don't worry. Just go back to the feature settings page in your Control Panel and delete all the code between <-- and //-->. Save it again. Then go back and delete everything from the box and save it again. If it works, you should/might have an extra box at the bottom, but that's ok. It'll delete itself when you save the settings again. Paste the code you copied into the box you want it in and click save again.
I'm not absolutely certain this will fix it, so only do it if you can't contact the admins and you really need to fix it.

Your board has been fixed. Please don't use any code which uses the <textarea> tag for now. |

thanks. I don't know how I did it. I have no reason to do anything else to it. I am keeping it like it is. Hopefully. I have other people working on it too. (sometimes)
Thanks Markus
