I took a look using <a href="https://govt.exposed/Site/PageActions?action=source">https://govt.exposed/Site/PageActions?action=source</a> [1] and I'm afraid you've got your Site.PageActions pretty messed up. You'll need to go look at <a href="http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/SitePageActions">http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/SitePageActions</a> (referenced above) and *carefully* follow the instructions and examples there. You can't just throw in the conditionals wherever and however it makes sense to you... Your conditionals are not being opened in the right place and aren't being closed until well after you intend it (either (:if ...:) or (:ifend:) closes the conditional.) </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">In the example from that page:</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">===(snip)===</div><div class="gmail_extra"><pre class="" style="font-size:0.9em;font-family:'Lucida Console','Andale Mono','Courier New',Courier,monospace;line-height:1.2em;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;color:rgb(0,0,0)">...</pre><pre class="" style="font-size:0.9em;font-family:'Lucida Console','Andale Mono','Courier New',Courier,monospace;line-height:1.2em;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;color:rgb(0,0,0)">(:if auth upload:)
