jcsnider,
Great, I am glad to hear you got it working.

Alright so after 6 re-installs of the forum I was able to determine that all the mods and themes were fine. It was when I re-imported my database that it messed up again. I ended up clearing my database options and filling everything back in and it instantly started working again. For now... I am keeping my fingers crossed that it continues to work. Thanks for the support and the better tab code! -JC Donation made to askusaquestion.net

Just for your records I made a backup of my site (which I am restoring from right now). And uninstalled every single mod with the exception of the Arcade and the PDL skin or whatever.... At this point I am going to try my luck at installing my forum into a different database and directory and then installing my mods from scratch as it seems to be one of the best options left. I will let you know how it all goes. Thanks again and sleep well JC

jcsnider,
Ok it is attached. Since you said you have some programming experience, imo you can take a quick look at the file and perhaps will be able to see how I added those tabs to the button array. This way you can add to it in the future if you want to add more tabs. That file will only work with the arcade installed as it inserted those hook configs in the settings table of your database to use that file & function.
Use your ftp platform (Cpanel, Filezilla, etc.) to upload the file to your Sources folder replacing the original arcade hooks file. Then uninstall and delete those 2 modifications.
This does not fix your issue and I have to get up for work in 3 hours so we will have to continue this tomorrow evening. In the meantime I suggest using trial and error to figure out what is causing the issue. Disable every block, uninstall every mod (except the arcade) including the portal until it works. Although I just tested it on a local installation with Simple Portal and a few other mods installed and it works without issue.

Sounds good to me. It seems that the less mods the better. (from a programming standpoint)

You can also do away with those 2 mods and enter the code manually. Either edit the /Sources/Subs.php file where the tab array is located or you could edit the Arcade's hooks file and add them prior to the arcade tab since that is where they reside anyhow. That way you could configure them exactly the way you want and properly.
Imo if you use the arcade hooks file, just keep it stashed on your computer to replace the default hooks file via ftp if you uninstall and install the arcade anew in the future.
You want me to configure and attach that file for you? Then you can uninstall those 2 tabs mods.

Replaced and the meta code is gone now.

All 3 of the custom tab configurations are in that screen shot with the first one at the top and the other 2 on the bottom of the image (I stuck them together with MSPaint).
Sadly the mod wants a ?action= command while to get to the downloads page it is ?page= where ?action=download will not work and ?page=download does. (The real reason I went with the meta tags at all.)
I have tested the page with all the buttons disabled as defined by that configuration page. (I do not know how that effects the actual code of the page other than the fact that the buttons do not appear.)

jcsnider,
It would have been easier to give me the code in bbc code boxes as well so I could have used copy & paste.
Anyhow, the first thing I see is imo that html entered in those inputs should be html or bbcode that belongs in the page body and not meta tags which are improperly configured anyhow.
The first input box is supposed to contain html or bb code that you want to appear at the top of that page the download link directs to. The second input is the actual index action that is executed (http redirect via the forum index using hyperlink). The same goes for the gallery tab. You can not use meta tags in the body of your page and they are incorrectly configured anyhow.
I will give you one example for your download page.
Since you do not have anything showing at the top of that download page, you can leave the 'Add the HTML or BB code here for this page:' input empty. If you want to add something there perhaps ask me how to enter the proper html or just use bb code.
For the 'Choose the "?action= URL:' input, put the following:
?action=download
.. do the same for your gallery page.
I assume those are Simple Portal pages that they redirect to.
I do not think getting rid of those improper meta tags will fix the issue but let us try.
What about the input for the other custom tab mod you have?
