I'm having some issues using master pages ih YAF. My current page with the forum in the placeholder is as follows:

<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="./themes/EvilCorporate/site_noblogtags.master" %>

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="head" Runat="Server">
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="cphBody" Runat="Server">

<script runat="server">
	public void Page_Error( object sender, System.EventArgs e )
	{
		Exception x = Server.GetLastError();
		YAF.Classes.Data.DB.eventlog_create(YafServices.InitializeDb.Initialized ? (int?)YafContext.Current.PageUserID : null , this, x );
		YAF.Classes.Core.CreateMail.CreateLogEmail( x );
	}		
</script>

    <form id="form1" runat="server" enctype="multipart/form-data">
        <YAF:Forum runat="server" ID="forum"></YAF:Forum>
    </form>
</asp:Content>

When I run this page in my browser, I get random symbols appearing in the browser which usually indicates an error for me. I'm running it on IIS 7 using ASP.Net 3.5. I also tried using the master file template provided on the forum, and the same problem occurs, or I get an assembly error saying it can't find the yaf assembly, even though it's in the root app's web.config.

If I run the forum as a regular page that doesn't use master pages/content holders, then it works fine, so I'm not sure what's going on here.

Thanks!

Any tips would be appreciated.

It's hard to say based on the custom code being used in the site.

If you are running the regular page without master pages and its working good -- maybe it's not YAF? Did you try just a simplistic master page to see if to works?

Sometimes it just takes someone to tell you, "maybe you should check to see if it's not this..."

Apparently, my master file had no
