[SOLVED] Guestbook not displaying properly

Hi there,
Appologies if this has been mentioned elsewhere, however I did seash before posting and nothing came up.
The guestbook on one of the sites I have CMSMS on is not working.
Basically, it is causing the page to show as if it has no CSS.
HERE is a link to the page so you can see for yourself. Warning... it seems to also take a hell of a long time to load, which also indicates to me that there's something amiss.
I have just upgraded a site to the latest CMSMS 1.9.4.2 "Faanui" and the latest Guestbook 1.3.2 in order to see if that was the issue, but it's still the same.
I have also tried the guestbook as both a content type and as the smarty tag in the usual content area. No joy.
Does anyone have any suggestions that might shed some light on it?
I have comments in the guestbook, so I was a bit reluctant to uninstall and reinstall if it's not necessary.
Thanks in advance

Thank you! I didn't want to post that again, since I've already had a lot of troubles with previous versions of the guestbook module. Now again!
Got the same module and core version as you, mine looks like this:

Would be great if someone could help.

Turn debug mode in config.php to see if there are any errors?

Nope, no errors here...
Special thing is, that the source-code starts with the </__body>-tag...

Ok i just tried it on my local install it looks like when using Guestbook as content type leads to a problem when entries are paginated.
Using {cms_module module="Guestbook" number=5 number='1' shownow=1 smiley=0 dateformat="%d-%m-%Y %H:%M"} worked however for me.

As I said in my original post, I have tried using the smarty tag (as you just posted) in the normal content type too. I get the error either way. In fact, as the moment that is how the guestbook is set up and it's not working now.
EDIT > This is the smarty code I have on the page :
{cms_module module="Guestbook" number=5 shownow=0 smiley=0 mailnoti=
email@site.com dateformat="%d-%m-%Y %H:%M"}

Just pasted in your code to see if there was any difference... none

What is actually in tmp/templates_c/Guestbook^%%E5^E56^E5636B77%%module_db_tpl%3AGuestbook%3Bguestbook-entrylist.php on line 30?
Or can you paste your Guestbook template?

Reset all guestbook templates to the default value.
That will do the trick.

Thanks Rolf! That did it. The original templates had not been modified, but they must have changed in the upgrade, ao I did not think of that

Bedankt/thanks Rolf!
After resetting all guestbook templates my fatal error issue was solved. I was running older version of CMSMS and upgraded to 1.9.4.2.
I don't know what happened with the latest upgrade but most of the Guestbook templates were changed after I reset them to default. My modifications were little.
