Ok.  I'll be sure to copy my changes over there.  The page I was 
using didn't state that.  I edited the page (it is a wiki) to 
indicate the requirements you suggested.  After testing the changes 
you suggested, my problem was solved.

Hmm..Not until I upgraded.  I wonder if the problem still exists 
after I fixed the overwritten templates (I had forgotten to replace 
them with my updated templates until AFTER the restart).

>And did that upgrade replace your edited templates?

yes, but I had backups, which I put in the same place.  Thanks for 
the tip.  I truly appreciate your help.
