I have some questions I haven't been able to find answers to by searching this site. One regarding getting translations to work or removing the option to change languages is the next entry below this one. Here are some others from a newbie to elgg.

White page when saving template in _elggadmin/
1. when logging into the admin area, I can see the templates, but when I click save, I get a white page and my changes to the default templates are not saved. I thought this might be a permissions issue but I tried changing permissions on those files to no effect. I'm just making changes offline and FTP'ing, which is easier, but maybe the error impacts other functions.
Icons for file uploads don't display and link to picture display results in white page:
2. I can upload icons that display but uploads to the file folders do not display. photos show blank box but are uploaded successfully to the /data folder I have outside my root. I assume this is a mod_rewrite issue. http://doggybloggy.com/Sassyspace/files/ Clicking on the image or file leads to a blank page. Interestingly, files other than pictures (ex. text) upload and can be downloaded, though icon doesn't display. Pictures on the other hand cannot be accessed at all.
How to modify english language definitions:
3. Where are the english language files in elgg? I want to change some of the links around the site, like "resources" which is not appropriate for my userbase.
How to change default icon display size:
4. How does one change the default size of the icons that show up by blog posts and in the "me" box? I'd like to make these a little bigger.
Tag cloud formatting issue in IE:
5. Any ideas why the tag cloud page displays strangely in IE but normally in Firefox? By strangely, i mean the spacing between the lines is not set in IE at the largest font size in the cloud on that line and thus the lines run over each other. This is default .673 out of the box. http://doggybloggy.com/search/tags.php on IE.
Thanks for any and all assistance. This system is excellent.

Here is the fix to #2. Likely, if you have this problem, then you also had to go through the exercise of commenting out '@apache_setenv('no-gzip', '1');' in _files/icon.php, _files/download.php, and _icons/icon.php. If you still have problems with icons for image files only (text, pdf or whatever else is ok), then here is your solution.
Thank you Kevin and Google! I searched here for 5 hours and couldn't find it and then I found it in 10 minutes with Google! There definitely needs to be a search text of entries on elgg feature here rather than just tags!

Hi Todd,
I'm having the blank page issue on _elggadmin. Please advise if you were able to fix it :)
Nope, I still have the white page issue on elggadmin after saving a template. I even upgraded to the latest svn and it's still there.
the new support site at elgg.org has launched. you should post this in the "running elgg" forum. . I just ftp and don't worry about it. but I haven't tried to use the user interface yet for templates, so I don't know if there is an error there also.
I tried to comment out the stuff you mention but I do not have such a line in my files... I am using elgg 0.61
I do not have any "elgg" or "local" in my filelib.php file... Where is this file and what is the precise line that needs editing?
just upgrade to v.70 and this error has been fixed.
