I think it's contact board administration, and it won't be a bold text. It will be in with maybe general on the dropdown select.

Not seen that sort of error before on it. I would advise to upgrade that mod and see what happens from there.

It is always wise to update your mods, especially larger mods such as Arcade, gallery, etc.

ok wasn't sure on if that would cause problem with the pre-mod or not
I have to say the main reason why I went for the pre mod was because I struggled with doing the arcade and the calender (I know not included in pre mod) myself so worried about doing updates like that myself
will I have to edit the overall header etc again or will it be a case of just uploading the files?

You mean for who was here or acade?

Both will no doubt need code changes either within template and core files. Obviously the older mod files will need to be overwritten with the new mod files.

Try to set it to 24 hours and see if that makes any difference on who was here?
