I dont like php much, and as a non-frequent coder of it i didnt realise it was case sensative, or at least it is when it links to mysql. So after a day of struggle and confusment i finally got the left sidebar edit page working woo and yay for all the admins, or me as there called.
Anyway. expect more updates soon, and dont worry if you see bits of the site fall apart while browsing it, i'm probably just modifying a file.
