Hi,

I upgraded to the 2.3.3RC1 version with the update script.
Still the same problem (and now I checked the MD5 sum).

But I did some more testing and I found the cause !! Very Happy

I started to check if any other page had the same problem, and came accross some other pages with the same problem (parse errors) or with garbled table lists (you could see part of php-code inside tables !).
Then I had the wonderful Idea

to check the "View source" in my browser, and what did I see: some <? and ?> tags, and I had short tags disabled in my php.ini file !!!!!!

So this is the problem:
You have used some SHORT TAGS in several (admin) pages !!

affected pages

adm/admreplace.php (gives parse error)
adm/admsmiley.php (gives parse error)
install.php ??? (see below)

I think also the install.php is affected, as I also discovered the following error when I want to load the Theme Manager page:
FATAL ERROR: _vti_conf/locale not a file in .../forum/priv/thm/default/i18n, can't open
Any help on how to resolve this would be appreciated !

Add a check in your install.php to see if the PHP has "short_tags" enabled and abort if not (temporary solution)
(Better solution IMO) Remove all short tags and use the standard tags (as short tags and XML will not work together very well).
I suggest you disable yourself the short tags on your test system and see what errors you get
