Big VB problem

[InsaneSyKO]

I don't know if this is the place to post this but here goes:

Recently I am switching hosts from invision-hosting to GoDaddy and I decided to invest in a new site design and CMS etc. If you go to http://activegaming.net/forums/index.php it shows a totally blank page with Done in the toolbar. However, If you go to http://activegaming.net/index2.php you can see the latest threads being posted from the forums. So whats the deal?

One possible error can be that on my old host I never really updated the forums and they were an extremly old version. A programmer went in and did an update and we backed up teh forums adn transfered it over. On the old forums we had store hacks etc. Could this be a problem? Or whats going on? Please help :(

The white pages are due to one of these causes:

1. You did not upload the vB files correctly. Reupload the vB non-image files and make sure you upload these in ASCII format and that you overwrite the ones on the server. Make sure you upload the Admin CP files to the admincp directory specified in your config.php file.

2. You have extra space or lines in your config.php file. Make sure there is no whitespace or extra lines in config.php either before the <?php or after the ?>.

3. You have a bad plugin installed. To disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

4. Your PHP has magic_quotes_sybase turned on. You have to run this off. On *nix systems you can do this by creating an .htaccess file with this content and placing it in your main forum directo
ry:

php_flag magic_quotes_sybase 0

5. [For multiple white pages] You have added code to your header, headinclude or phpinclude templa
tes that is no longer functional.
[For white pages in a selct area] You have added code to one of your templates that is causing thi
s problem.

6. You have GZIP enabled. Try turning GZIP off here:

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Cookies and HTTP Header Options -> GZIP HTML Output -> No

Sometimes this problem is caused when your server is already using GZIP and by turning this on in vB you were double compressing. This causes problems with some pages but not others. It also happens to some people and not others.

Anyone willing to work for hire to fix this problem?
