What exactly is the problem? I see an installed efiction site on your page. Is it throwing a specific error message?

But if your question is chmod on windows... Google is your friend:

Hope in some of those sites you get the answer you need.

I think it is something going on with the skin. I just noticed on my website if I use the berry good skin that "{" turns up on random story, but not on any of my other skins. I would have to try and look through that skin to see if we can figure out why it is doing that. Or maybe contact Kali who wrote the skin and see if she can tell us why it is doing that.

UPDATE: (Found it)

Go into your skins folder, look for index.tpl
Open that file in Notepad, notetab or anything whatever you use (not Word)

Scroll down until you find:

<div class="block">
      <div class="title">{random_title}</div>
      <div class="content">{
    <!-- START BLOCK : randomblock -->
{title} by {author}<br />
<span class="label">Summary: </span>{summary}<br />
<span class="label">Rated:</span> {rating} {score}<br />
<span class="label">Categories:</span> {category} <br />
<hr>
<!-- END BLOCK : randomblock -->
</div>

The part that says: <div class="content">{  
delete the "{"
Save the file
Reload it to your skins folder and BOOM! That pesky hanging parentheses is gone.

Thank you! I tried it and it definitely worked completely, now if I have a new skin from downloading I have to reupload that index but at least I finally know what the problem is.

Thank you! I love you. πŸ˜€

Happy to help. πŸ™‚ I'm guessing this was just an errant symbol that Kali had overlooked.
