I have been struggling with this for a while now

My first skin is based on the DNN default from release 3.3.1

I have edited the tables and graphic

=================

I am running 4.3.1 against sql 2005 database

when I try and view the skin i get a blank page

Parsing them produces this error

Occasionally it comes up twice - At first I got it with "TopPane" so I tried changing its name in the xml file - It was referring to [CONTENTPANE:5] and retried it but the problem was the same. I then removed the extra ContenPane:N that I had added but with no success. After the new install it switched to the above.

Which makes sense in one way to me but I dont know what to do about it - I have tried a new install - I was using 4.3.0 before this problem came up.

I have used the code in the documentation as my template but am really stuck on this

This happens from the host - skins option and the add new portal

Any ideas????

Thanks CC24x7 - nice quick response

I dont know how i missed that or where I let it come in from

Can you tell me the benefits of each of the markup methods - i.e. using the tags [CONTENT] over the id="Content" -

I also notice the user/login on your home page - how is this configured?
