I'm a new eFiction user and fairly new to mySQL and PHP. In other words, I have no clue what's going on. I can modify simple things, but that's about it.
Anyway, this is a problem that feels like an isolated incident, as I have not really seen it anywhere else.
On occasion, when I go to hit preview or add story, my screen "freaks out". All the text and html from the previous screen ends up in a huge block of text at the top, above my skin header. (The skin I'm using is DarkWater by GokuGirl.) However, as I scroll down, the Preview screen looks fine. My story details are intact.
Since it doesn't happen all the time, I have to wonder if it's the code, the skin I'm using or just bad luck on my part. I don't know what it is. Anyone have any idea as to what I might have done wrong in they process of uploading files?

Okay, my bad. I never was good at reading the rules first. I hope this post is more satisfactory and more helpful to explaining my problem?
Here's a link: http://www.boredcollegestudent.com/d_or_c/stories.php?action=newchapter&sid=5&inorder=2
Now, um, I'm not sure how helpful the link will be. The error seems to disappear after I click on the Home link or go to a different page. Anyway, I entered the text for my story, I hit "Preview" and then the preview screen goes wonky. Depending on the skin, I either get all the text from the previous screen loitering above the header or blanketing the background.
At the end of the story text, I see this:
[endnotes] => [submit] => Preview -->
That 'endnotes, submit, preview' thing is tacked onto the end of my story text. I have a feeling if you hit that link above, the preview screen will look fine. That, and it doesn't happen every time. Sometimes I hit Preview and the screen is normal.
I hope I was able to articulate that clearly enough. 😐 Like I said, I'm new to this stuff.
I can't replicate this on your site. I'd suggest you try changing your skin and turn debug off. My best guess is that you've got a stray tag half opened somewhere in the skin.
Alright, I'll try that. Thank you.
