I don't know exactly why our equipment lists are not showing right now, but I can tell you that the strangest little bugs can occur without any apparent reason, and a whole site can come crashing down with a single typo! There are about a billion settings backstage of a phpbb forum, and I'm really appreciating how long it can take to find and repair a glitch like this. Whew! I'm sure things will be back online before too long.

This is most likely not a typical PHPBB setting as the equipment part of the system is most likely an add on to the stock system. When making changes to the system, you should have a log that you maintain that reminds you what changes you have made so that you can easily undo it if you run into a problem. Good server backups allow you to restore to a known working point as well.

Systems Analyst who has managed, built and moderated lots of forum software systems for a very long time though not a PHPBB system for a while.

What language are you speaking? Sounds like alien language to me.
