    Hello all... you people are always a help, so here goes :)

    This site, http://www.musicianslearningcenter.net/new_site/, will not load in FireFox. The code won't even show up. Can someone take a look at it and maybe tell me why? I would greatly appreciate it :)

    Basically I think the problem is in the js, did you try to remove it?

    It looks like a server-side issue cause the page source is empty..

    This is what I'm starting to think... a PHP problem. Possible in the syntax. I ran a few of the files through a PHP syntax checker, but they are returned an Ok. Now seeing that this is phpnuke, where the heck do I begin, lol? Everything in the header.php, theme.php looks good.

    Usually when I have this problem with PHP displaying a blank screen, it's in all browsers, not just FF.

    That's true. Maybe there's a piece of code that does something different for different browsers? Search for "HTTP_USER_AGENT" or "get_browser" in the PHP code to check that.

    Good idea. I will do that, thanks. The step after that is to reinstall the theme and re-modify the heck out of it to how it looks now. It's something I did, I know it, but I modified so many things (three months ago), that it's hard to remember what I did where. I know the theme works, as proof is on my server: www.scrabblestop.com/nuke/ - same theme and works in firefox fine.

    Now I'm 100% sure it's a server-side issue. You're detecting the user agent and then doing something that doesn't work for Mozilla (Firefox).

    If you install this Add-on:

    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59

    and then change your user agent, the site will work in Firefox ;)

    I have a similar addon, my user-agent is already changed in FireFox, I like to be unique :) And it still doesn't work. Thanks for looking into that though. I changed templates and it still won't load, so it's one of the core php-nuke files that is suspect. I am simply going start replacing files that I may have messed with, index.php, meta.php, etc. Thanks for your help :) I'll report back when it's fixed.

    Got it fixed, I was very lucky. The second file I replaced was the culprit. It was two bytes off from the original. So I could have had two spaces, commas, something.

    Thanks again for your help in trying to solve this, it's much appreciated.
