Yes the new install worked perfect. Had no errors. I have been testing it out before I allow any resumes to be put in it and I think it is about ready as I see no problems with this component at least for us. Yes I installed it myself.
Also, you may need to reinstall your whole Joomla 2.5 system as it looks like it may be something to do with the installation since the new component has worked on everyone elses install from what I can see. I love the new Joomla and love the new component. It works really good. Just wish it had more color options. I guess I will have to try and play with the code some to see if I can change that.
