have you got a mac, by any chance?

when i opened my header.php in textedit, it contained a single ‘>’, and every time i put anything else in the file, it would display as plain text.

if i deleted it all, typed ‘>’ as before, and saved, the header was all gone. very odd.

if i downloaded the bbpress zip file again, and replaced the header.php with the original, bbpress was fine.

i opened header.php through cpanel on the server and the full contents were displayed.

there’s definitely something weird going on with that file.
