Ugh! After having a hell of a time installing some cutesy javascript XMas lights and snow on my site I finally got it to work with but only to find that in doing so I broke my ability to comment on the site and broke the ability for users to have custom backgrounds.
For whatever reason, I now have a site with snow and lights, but the PHP/AJAX/js comments now no longer render. I can go to a page, type in the comment box, hit submit.. and nothing happens. I can then type again, but the submit button is grayed out and I cant get it to work. So I refresh the page, all to no avail.
No comments, and no idea what the hell I screwed up. Might be the new javascript, might be something in the css, I really have no idea. You can view the site at [login to view URL] and go to a profile page, or a blog, or a video and when you try to comment it will not work.
As to the backgrounds, it previously allowed users to upload their own background to the site just like a myspace profile. Now every background on every page is overwritten by the pinstripes from the homepage. This is the other thing that needs corrected.
Below is a quick write up of what I did to get to this point.
Thanks in advance for any help.

How I got here:
1. Site worked fine, comments and background worked, all was good.
2. I wanted to add the cute snow and lights found here:
[login to view URL]
3. I made an attempt by editing my template file (_Header) and my [login to view URL] and following the script install instructions. I couldn't get the thing to work. So I came onto SL last night and hired a programmer to get it running.
4. An hour or so later, script works, and all is good in the world... or so I think...
5. I pay, log off, and call it a night...
6. This morning, I find out I have no comment ability on the site and user backgrounds are messed up. Users are cranky about it, and all my attempts to contact the programmer have yet been unanswered.
So now I'm stuck again. I have cute snow and lights, but no comments or bg. I need all four items to work and nothing else to break in the process. I am sure this will be simple for someone who knows PHP/AJAX/CSS but I do mostly front end so I am completely lost.
I need it done ASAP so PMB with ??s and I'll be on until its fixed... I have also attached the snow/lights script in case you want to see what was originally added to get a better idea of things
