      @AliAS remember after locating and fixing the error to hit ctrl + o to save and ctrl + x to exit nano.

        Another suggestion, and someone please correct me if I am wrong, you could delete the config.js file and save as or copy the config-sample.js as a new config.js file. That way you have a functioning config.js. But doing so, you would have to reconfigure all your modules. Does that sound right?

          Sure, but another idea would be to rename the non-functioning config (so you don’t lose what’s in it) and THEN make a new copy of the config.js.sample and rename it to config.js. :-)

            @Mykle1 Okay. We finally figured it out. We made an external join file for new compliments and that worked. Thank you all SOuch for your help.

                  Does anybody know how to use a line break within a compliment? I’ve tried about a dozen different ways to no avail.

                    Compliments are included via document.createTextNode(complimentText); which doesn’t allow HTML inside.

                    But you can change the line within getDom: function() {} that includes the compliment from
                    wrapper.appendChild(compliment);
                    to
                    wrapper.innerHTML = complimentText;

                    and then just add a <br /> to the compliment.
