This only applies to blocks that have been set to show up in that topic only. But yes, it's a bug. It's caused by this useless piece of code at the end of index.php: $display .= COM_startBlock($LANG05[1]) . $LANG05[2]; if (!empty($topic)) { $result = DB_query ("SELECT topic FROM {$_TABLES['topics']} WHERE tid='$ topic'"); $A = DB_fetchArray ($result); if (!empty ($A['topic'])) { $topic = $A['topic']; } $display .= $LANG05[3]; } $display .= COM_endBlock(); That was supposed to make the topic name appear in the "There are no news stories to display" message (instead of the topic id), but it doesn't even work ... Shorten it to $display .= COM_startBlock($LANG05[1]) . $LANG05[2]; if (!empty($topic)) { $display .= $LANG05[3]; } $display .= COM_endBlock(); and the right blocks will appear properly. bye, Dirk -- http://www.haun-online.de/ http://www.haun.info/
