hi,
i have fixed the second problem too. it was a very personell problem, cause i?m working on a fresh installed operating system and my ftp client was missconfigured and has not overwritten files in subdirectories.
about the first problem:
i am using the newst bts and new ms2. your changes in the template are visibel. but this problem is fixed with this workaround, i told and i think it is a very server specific problem so no need to worry about it.
