Where should the class be located? so I can look there to see if it exists. Well at the time a few years ago I thought the album was SniffTheGlove but infact it was wrong and the album is SmellTheGlove, so now I look a plonker LOL but suprising how many people think the same as I did.

It ought to be working! I live in hope.... (Btw: "Sniff", "Smell" ... same difference! Or better yet, "sniff" is a more subtle allusion.... :)

If I disable Comments in the future then this problem will occur again, so would it just be easy to remove the comment codes above from the layout etc.? Thanks, and now I can investigate this cms in confidence that if I come across a problem there are people who and willing and happy to help. Thanks

That's why a number of the "themes" do not have any comment code included in the first place! It seems you grabbed the ones that did. "there are people who and willing and happy to help" - it may be a small community, but I think it is a happy and helpful one! Hope you have success with Frog!
