07/02: Site Maintenance this morning

Some of the loyal Dark and Moody members may have noticed a strange problem this morning with the templates not working right, the smilies not visible, and unable to enter your profile area. This was my fault, I'm afraid. I was trying to work to repair the Custom Page mod ... and actually did get it fixed. In the process, I changed all the path statements for the site. Originally, I thought it was an attribute problem on the Paths.pl file, since I was using a java FTP program provided by HostMonster. I had no idea what the attributes were set for.
When I got home, I realized that the Paths.pl file I had uploaded to fix the Custom Page mod still had path statements from our old server, so it didn't know where to look for certain things.
And in the process of using the YaBB software to fix the path statements, that cripples the Custom Page mod again. So I finally got it nailed and it's working great now. I just had to get home and use a program that I could see precisely what was going on before I could fix it.
My gratitude is extended to ccarr of eulogia.co.uk for pointing out the missing line in the code.
