Now that I rethink that.... you are having trouble with so many different things, it's probably not the templates.... probably editpost.php or modifypost.php.
Both those scripts are used when editing a post.
Try starting with fresh / clean (unhacked) copies... then add hacks back in, then you can tell what went wrong.
