Also - be patient, your question is not necessarily going to be answered in the first 3-4 hrs... As for your problem, this post might be relevant, though it involves a different module. You can manually remove the block in mySql (use phpMyAdmin or another dbase admin tool?) by going to the nukes_blocks table and deleted the appropriate row. I think CExpress has forums too, you might have better luck over there. -- Get PhotoGallery, PayPalCart, Dynamenu, Enhanced Blocks & other mods Cape Cod Travel Info...

I am not an expert with ContentExpress, but this issue seems somewhat theme-related, as I am able to access your website home page with: http://www.academy.l….php?theme=PostNuke Note, the alternate theme tacked on as a query string. You can probably log in and get to your admin panel to either delete the block or change the theme. Your site will revert to the "broken" theme after logging in or going from page to page, but you can tack on the "working" theme at the end of the URL (query string) as: Code &theme=PostNuke to get the pages you are visiting to to work. For example, to access you Admin=>Settings page after loggin in, the URL would be: http://www.academy.l…main&theme=PostNuke -- Get PhotoGallery, PayPalCart, Dynamenu, Enhanced Blocks & other mods Cape Cod Travel Info...

string i got back to my settings file - so simple yet works like a dream.
