When I remove the second form I've created it works.
And I have checked the encoding to be UTF-8 without BOM
-
Each form starts with tag <form> and closes with </form>
Into the code you placed at your topic there are 3 forms with names samplecontact, Reservation and Kratisi
The syntax of all looks fine (apart some minor orthographic mistakes). In your case the form name Reservation i could change it to reservation and the form name Kratisi to kratisi
Avoid capital letters (uppercase) into form names, no reason to use it.
Each form in order to be displayed correctly into content needs the right syntax using bot eforms. So,
For 1st form you have to type into content this: {eforms}samplecontact{/eforms}
For 2nd form you have to type into content this: {eforms}reservation{/eforms}
For 3rd form you have to type into content this: {eforms}kratisi{/eforms}
So check again the bot syntax.

Found the syntax errors. Thank you.
Notepad++ helped out with the color codes :)

You are welcome ;)
In order to be all fine, you can correct some typing mistakes, which i saw into second form
1. Change the "Sumbited" to "Submitted"
2. Change the "yout" to "your"

thanks for pointing it out :) Appreciate it
