Hi!

Could it be that you deleted some files from your templates/ directory, or edited any of those files?

Best regards,

Not that I know of. Is there any type of dump or log file I can post or send. Thanks for the help. Your software rocks!
Actually i may hav etried to edit a tempate file once. I did not like the result so restore dit back to the previous file though. What would be the quick way to try to fix it?

Perhaps a directory got its permissions messed up. There's no log (hmmm... there's an idea for somebody with significant time!), but you could list the serendipity/templates/ directory to see what could possibly be displayed. You can also install the template chooser drop-down to pick between all the installed templates on the fly.
