Post ID # showing up above each post...

[ShackMaster]

Helping a friend with his forum and the post ID shows above each post on the left top... it shows as:

#48 -->

#56 -->

etc.

I checked postbit and it reads as follows:

<!-- / post #$post[postid] -->#$post[postid] -->

I loaded the default but then no post show up at all.

Thanks!

Revert the postbit template and this won't happen.

I did that but it still didn't fix it. When I reverted back, it then made all the post disappear.

I copied everything he had changed over to Word and reverted all his templates back and all is fine. I one by one added the template he created back and the culprit now causing the problem is the navbar.

I can't really see where he's got anything unusual though. Must be something though.

If it's not the template, then it's a hack or plugin. This simply doesn't happen on an unmodified vB.

To troubleshoot this, remove any hacks and disable your plugins, then see if you still have this problem.

Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

If so, reupload all the original vB non-image files (except install.php). Make sure you upload these in ASCII format and overwrite the ones on the server.
