two new extensions on the developer blog. I downloaded them and there are files that I don’t konw where to put them.

._lang.comment_spam_prevention.php
._ext.form_tag_encoder.php
._ext.comment_spam_prevention.php

all of these files appear to be duplicates of other files without the ._ prefix

What do I do with them.

They’re Mac OS X file system clutter. Ignore them.

I just noticed a problem with the form tag encoder plugin. I tried to view a member profile and got the following error.

Fatal error: Call to a member function parse_globals() on a non-object in /path/to/system/extensions/ext.form_tag_encoder.php on line 182

Download the extension again and replace.  Seems there is a usage of the $FNS->form_declaration() method in the member stuff that I forgot about.

Another problem has come to my attention. I found out that my site was broken in IE and determined it was due to the form encoder extension. Site is unbroken after disabling the extension. I got a number of run-time errors if that will help with debugging.

Download and replace your current extension, DEA, so you can be sure you are running the most current.  If that does not fix it, please provide details on the errors and how / where to reproduce them.
