If you're having troubles with Catobase, the problem resides with the ltrans.txt file in your leagues league_news_box directory. There is also a secondary problem that I seem to be running into that I have a fix for also. Here are the steps I used:

#1 - Create a backup of your league (obviously) and only work with that.

#2 - Once the league is backed up, open up the ltrans.txt file in NotePad, WordPad, or whatever other text editor you like.

#3 - Replace all the #&160 you see with a space using the find/replace command in your text editor. Octanes testing from the other thread says this doesn't seem to make a difference, but to be on the safe side I change it.

#4 - Replace all SP with P. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE MATCH CASE or MATCH WHOLE WORD checked in the find/replace dialogue box, otherwise you'll end up changing a players name that has any combo of sp in it (not sure if this makes a difference or not...again just to be safe I do this). Repeat for MR and CL.

# 5 - I noticed this in my newly created 6.5 leagues - the Almanac folder is not written to disk at the end of the playoffs. Catobase needs to have the league.html file that resides there. If Catobase errors out asking for this file, go back to your main league directory and see if the Almanac file is there. If it is not, you need to go back into 6.5 and hit the "Proceed to Next Season" button. The Almanac folder should now be in your league's main directory. Copy this out to the backup directory where you are working from, and you should be good to go.

Hope this works for you.
