MC was working perfectly - beautiful design by the way, love it. However it seems the update to J1.7.2 screwed something up, at least I think it was the update.
Now when you save an article, the article saves but the screen goes blank. You have to log back into admin, and find the article. It also has to be "checked in."
Seems to have been something to do with my hosting service - they updated something and now it seems to be working fine again. Thanks though for your quick attention.
