[SOLVED] Extra bracket and comments not loading

Hello First... I love this theme! It gives me great flexibility!

I seem to be having an issue since the last upgrade.

First there is an extra < showing at the top of the page. I have looked through all of my theme option settings and can not find it. I have not altered the theme codes at all.

Second, the comments, footer etc seem to not load on the individual posts although it does on the home page (which is a static page)

I am giving you a link to a post so you can see both issues.
