I'm having the same problem. I'm not sure if it is the version of phpnuke i'm running (7.4) and the fact that it was written for 6.5b6+... I also noticed that I don't have a smileys.php in my blocks folder... Would that by chance be the problem? All I get is the "There isn't content right now for this block." message in the block.

Thanks for any help!

I'm running v7.5 and downloaded "block-Forums_3.tar.gz" from here. It works perfectly on all pages except the page that show's the forums.

On that page it displays the entire website in a scrolling format in the small block. This is awkward as the Forum is the initial page of my site.

Anyone seen this or got a solution?

Thanks,

Matt
