Well, I changed the var to 1 and 2, and created a directory called "cache" and changed the var $cache_modified_check = true; to var $cache_modified_check = false;

There are pages cached in the "cache" directory, even though there is a smarty error at the bottom of the page....only problem is I didn't check the cache directory to see what setting did it. I'll start over from scratch..make one change and then check the cache directory to see what's putting cached pages in it.


UPDATE:

ok...changed it to "1" and there were 4 cached paged in the "cache" directory even though there was a smarty error at the bottom of the view_video page and NOW I understand what you mean by the banners....the position for the top_advert gets messed up and the banner for the top which normally appears above the "featured videos" and under the "submenu" appears at the very top of all pages. On the index page, the top_advert banner appears at the top and also at the lower right of the main layout with the tags out of their respective box and below the misaligned banner as if it's screwing up right.tpl.

On the view_video page, there's a date that appears to the right and just above the video title where the player is and a smarty error under the comments section. The top_advert appears at the very top of the page and the footer banner is aligned properly.

Interesting stuff to say the least.
