possibly found the cause perhaps?

ive updated js/css loader to latest but it shows as compatible upto 1.57 but im 1.57b

Any work around for this or just a case of waiting for upgrade and see if that resolves issues?

If you are using this template make sure to update this module, even if not compatible for latest zen it makes the site run much faster.
i downloaded latest version did a backup and copied it keeping directories ect using filezilla, was quite simple to be honest. logged into admin panel to see 2 green ticks it had patched to 5.23 then to 5.24 succesfully but my issue still remains.....
