Hi motleymermaid,
Problem solved! Since there was apparently a problem with the [TITLE] tag in this custom template, I just deleted the existing [TITLE] tag and adding a new one using the "Title" link in the "Custom Template Tags" menu, so the template is now functioning properly.
Any additional questions or concerns? Please file a support request using the appropriate link on our help page: http://www.auctiva.com/free-auction-software-help/help.aspx
