When I say ripped out, I mean completely removed from the server/installation. The changes I made to archive.module were very minor, I'm not bold really. I added a query at the top and a little if() to see if the date in question had a hit in the db. I didn't even get so far as changing the query that selected the articles for that date if the link was clicked, because of the aforementioned issues.
I think there may be some relation to file corruption of some sort, or database corruption. I haven't figured out yet how that could cause it but I'm working on it. I did get single messages with the module names and the apparent gibberish before ever doing anything though, including modifying the smarty theme. I've just worsened the issue somehow, and it somehow managed to stick around past a completely clean slate. I initially suspected some kind of file type mixup because I copied the files over file sharing to the server, but when I reinstalled I reinstalled directly from a tar on the server so that couldn't be it.
Actually I was having the same issues with the other themes, too, at that point but I think some of the initial issues started with the edited smarty theme. Very curious, and something I'll be looking into. This time I've got it working again and I'm going to duplicate the site as it stands, functional, and work on a copy. I don't want to do all this again Speaking of which, I noticed you applied for an account, if you want to reapply I promise I won't hose the site again before I can approve it
I'm not much of a read-and-learn kind of person. I learn much better with visuals or just getting my hands dirty. So it's not really "geek cool" just "amy's strangeness" at work here
BTW, does anyone else have issues with their punctuation being stripped? I'm losing my smilies and such, esp. exclamation marks, like after "approve it"
the only time i've seen this is when magic quotes isn't enabled for php. make sure the .htaccess file in the top drupal directory is actually being processed.
Initially I copied them over via netatalk. But then I thought that maybe it was a problem like that, so I copied over the .tar.gz and decompressed it there instead after removing the original files. The problem persisted.
When I get some more free time I'm going to re-break a local install and see what happens.

whoops is right
don't really know what the problem could be.
i do admire your boldness to start ripping apart a codebase with which you are barely familiar. thats geek cool.
heh
Do I detect a hint of sarcasm?

Puzzling. And quite addictive.
theme problem
could you try one of the stock themes instead of smarty.theme? maybe this is a theme problem.
no sarcasm. really.
actually, yes

magic quotes ...

what ever happened to that debug module ...
adam.
magic quotes?
Well I haven't seen my punctuation getting stripped on my own site. It gets stripped here
(Note: there was an exclamation mark after "here")
erm
Some days I just wish I could personally set the length of cookie life. Really.
Or grow an ability to observe.
A guess
Just a guess, really, but did you upload/FTP your files in binary mode rather than ASCII mode? Any server-side changes? Anything in the watchdog?
Initially, yes
