tom, i definitely can't speak for his site's XOOPS problems, but the other day i was attempting to hack out a port of that FatalQuery module, and while i was in the early stages of 'hacking' (wouldn't call it development, not familiar enough with XOOPS method), i installed the module to see what would happen
when i uninstalled, the module wouldn't uninstall properly (lol), and it screwed up other module listings
replacing the site files then prompted me to install XOOPS for the first time, hehe :)
maybe he's experiencing something similar, except on a lesser scale (hehe, i royally screwed up my install, lol), with some module that he had tested
