As for plugins, I'm only using MT-Macros (now compatible with 3.x) and RandomEntries. Not sure it could be the second, since the random entries appear in all the templates and only the individual ones refuse to rebuild! I'm going to try the upgrade Brad suggested sometime this week, but a MT upgrade is no small undertaking so it'll have to wait until I have more time. Thanks again, guys! MT may be a bear sometimes, but I've learned that you can always count on the great people in the community to help you out. :-) Ken, thanks for the pointers (and the sympathy).

Thanks for the tip, Brad --- I'll give that a shot when I have some time. I didn’t know there’d been an upgrade since 3.11. Thanks for the tip, Brad — I’ll give that a shot when I have some time.

I believe it corrected this problem, but if not, it will be easier to diagnose and/or get official support if you're running the latest release. May I suggest trying out 3.121?

It might be a plugin that is throwing that error on template rebuilds. I do not know what plugins, if any, you are using. Oh, another common thought on that error code is MT plugins.

Here is the exact words from the last bit of communication between me and 6A reguarding this issue: <blockquote>So far, I don't think anyone has identified what in their templates might be causing this. The other users who have brought this error to me have been able to resolve it by pasting in the default template, but none have pinpointed anything specific in their own template which may have generated the error.</blockquote> Pain in my ass if you ask me. There is/was a lot of custom coding on my old templates that I really want to bring back. My category templates, for example, look like hell right now because I do not have time to re-code them. I have even had one reader complain about them. I will get to it some day.
