Hello to all,and happy new year. I have simplemachines forum 1.1 rc1 installed on my site. I was just in the admin section doing really nothing and all of a sudden without really doing anything I got this when I clicked on something. It was not a delete buttom or anything serios like that. Just maybe a button to go to another part of the admin.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/rockstar/public_html/index.php on line 206

the whole file was replaced with the right one.

I then go to log ib and i get this

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/======/public_html/Settings.php on line 28'

the area around the error looks like this line 24 to 28

########## Maintenance ##########
# Note: If $maintenance is set to 2, the forum will be unusable! Change it to 0 to fix it.
$maintenance = 0; # Set to 1 to enable Maintenance Mode, 2 to make the forum untouchable. (you'll have to make it 0 again manually!)
$mtitle = 'Maintenance Mode'; # Title for the Maintenance Mode message.
$mmessage = 'Okay faithful users...we're attempting to restore an older backup of the database...news will be posted once we're back!'; # Description of why the forum is in maintenance mode.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$mmessage = starts line 28 and all that folows is 28 what is above is line 24 to 27


Does anybody see any problems that could cause the errror
