Problems with ratings and add.cgi
The first problem is with the rating script. When I choose a rating and click on the "Rate this link" Button, I get a blank page with this "Unkown Tag: site_Title" on it.

The second problem is with the Add a Site link. Once I enter in the information and click on the button, nothing happens. http://jereme.gfxsites.net/cgi-bin/add.cgi

Why have you modified the original tags?

site_Title = site_title

Honestly, I wasn't aware that I'd changed it. I haven't changed anything in the rate.cgi file to my knowledge. Where do I change it back? I searched for that line in the rate.cgi file and I couldn't find it/

By the way, I'm new to cgi. This is my first time setting up a cgi script completely myself. I ran into some other problems but I was able to fix them myself using these forums.

Ok, ok. I know what's going on now. I didn't modify the rate.cgi file, but I did modify the the rate html files. I downloaded the yahoo template set and it told me to change the title, to Title. On changing it back to title, the rate no longer works at all.

The last problem I have(for now anyway!) is with add.cgi. http://jereme.gfxsites.net/cgi-bin/add.cgi When I enter the information and click on the button to submit the info, nothing happens. Nothing at all.

Do you have the correct form actions in the add.html template. Check you didn't accidentally delete some of the form code when customizing the templates.

I checked my add.html template against the original template from the zip file. The form code is still the same. I installed the yahoo modification. Maybe that changed something for the bad?

It's all fixed up now. Somehow, the </form> tag had been moved about all the form elements so it wasn't acting as a form at all. I missed that when I was comparing my file with the original.
