Well, When you look at a message or a profile, SMF 1.1.1 no longer acknowledges that they are there, in either the Core theme, or Helios (which I modded to also apply this mod).
Matter of fact, even though I have not changed any settings, and the jpgs are still in the proper folder, with everything pointing to it, SMF told me that there were NONE. When I attempted to reload an avatar, it shows a lovely [ x ]... and nothing else.
