Its difficult to diagnose without a circuit diagram. However, if you can post close up photos of the PCB both component and solder side, it might help someone here to possibly figure out the problem you're facing.
BTW: who is Matt?

Thats the problem, he revited all 8 triacs to the case so i cant see the underside of the PCB. Matt is ElectronicsUK BTW. Hes registered here somewhere.
Ive uploaded a PCB layout i made based on Matt's design. I still havnt got any schematic software yet. It might be hard to understand because the diagram shows components ontop of each other. In reality some components are under the board.
The circuit is basicly PC serial>PIC chip>opto isolator>triac>bulb
Then get Eagle demo, get PrimoPDF and upload the schematic here.

It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
