Rather annoying V

[TheListener]

If not solved (and even if solved it will help with other potential issues), I'd recommend to do Option 2.
Modify all those files to remove any white space, or newlines, or single letters after ?>, in each file, in the order I listed them. If the files have something else than white space or newlines after ?>, then post them as attachments here.

Have started already.

Please make sure you keep a copy of your files before modifying them.

Norv I don't know what ya did but not only did ya get rid of that v for me BUT the chat and shoutboxes are working again.

Thanks bud.

Good to hear you got it sorted out!
Marking as solved then (it's still a good idea to check those files and try t do as outlined above, it may help with other issues).
