So I just changed my Errors.tmpl to:[include file=../ErrorLog.txt]

Date	Time	Command	IPAddress	Error

and my ErrorTemplate.tmpl to:[appendfilefile=/WebCatalog/ErrorLog.txt&secure=F][date][time][command][ipaddress][errormessage][/appendfile]Now the changes are visible instantly and always written to diskimmediately.
