Missing 'tab' text

[idledragon]

I'm encountering an interesting issue.

When I try to use the Filemanager, TinyMCE, and the module manager, text is missing the tabs on top, (even more text in TinyMCE). I have tried different browsers and different themes.

We are using 1.6 of CMSMS and I plan to upgrade...but I'd like to make sure I don't exacerbate the problem - so I would like to fix this first.

Any ideas what might be going on?

Likely that your host upgraded to PHP 5.3 ... This happened to me on a couple of sites. You'll have to upgrade your CMSMS version. There is something with Lang() processing that doesn't work in newer versions of php.

They did upgrade not too long ago. So that is probably it. Thank you for the quick response.

Did you have any issues upgrading? And did upgrading just take care of the issue or did you have to do anything else?

Luckily the two sites that I had this issue on had no extra modules and upgraded easily.

Look at: http://docs.cmsmadesimple.org/upgrading

and go to the section called "upgrading an old version" .

Do your upgrades on a side install copy of your site. Once everything's working, rotate in the side install as your main site.
