just upgraded to the new 1.1 this morning and i'm running into problems with it. first let me tell ya what i'm running. have mysql 5, php 5.2 on iis6. one problem is with the template i'm using which is the coffee bar. the navbar should have a total of six seperate links on it. it has six but, the last two are exactly the same and show that way too. i can't seem to find a way to change them anymore. the next issue is with the contact form that used to work. it no longer sends mail and don't know why. i'm looking into this myself because i have other php sites here that also use the php send mail feature and i'm wondering if they have issues also but i don't think so because they do not rely on the php ini file settings.
i've searched for solutions to these but haven't seen much in the way of answers. help!
thanks!

Hi!
What's your URL so we could have a look at your theme output?
The coffee bar theme that's in spartacus only supports 4 navlinks! How does your template configuration screen look like? There should only be 4 navlink input boxes...
About the contact form, maybe you can ask your server provider what the local MTA (Mail transfer agent, something like qmail, exim, courier, ...) returns about mails being sent by the contact form. Some MTAs block emails with invalid TO or FROM addresses, or sometimes even because of Charset encoding.
Best regards,
Garvin

well, for some reason or another the coffee bar template files were not being read because after the upgrade the links i had originally made were no longer showing up. i made them using the suggested navbar hack by the author of the template. whether i missed something or not i couldn't tell you due to inexperience. so, what i wound up doing was recreating the links after a full deletion of the template from the root folder and re-installation. they now show up.
the contact form problem was my php.ini file. it was an upgrade day today and it was moved to c:\windows for some reason instead of c:\php. how does that matter? well it was also recreated and the smtp settings were never entered. duh!
i also noticed my download manager didn't seem to shown anything anymore. i upgraded it from .7 to .14. it now works too.
