Hi JRS,
Thanks for the post!
First off, that's rather curious about the installation. As a test I installed 2.0.4 and 2.0.2 locally with Opera 10.62 and didn't run into any problems myself.
Has anyone else around here hosted with Earthlink? How was the mail functionality on their sites? The default PHP mail functionality is supported on most systems, but a lot of them prevent a lot of the functionality (like setting your own email headers, which Form Tools does) to prevent spamming.
If you're running into trouble, I'd suggest moving to SMTP with the Swift Mailer module that would be bundled with your installation:
http://modules.formtools.org/swift_mailer/
Huh, now that IS interesting! I don't think it's related to the installation problem - more likely it's a sessions issue... If the information being stored in sessions is being limited or trimmed, you'll run into trouble. Some server environments use "suhosin" or other PHP patches to limit the total size of information that can be stored in sessions. That prevents Form Tools working properly.
Could you try this: in your /global/config.php file add the following line:
then log out and in again, and try the HTML option. It's a long-shot, but worth a try. That tells Form Tools to store all temporary session information in the database instead of a file.
Hmm... and your other problem also sounds like it may be session-related.
Let me know if this helps at all.
