first of all fter trying to install the avatar mod, unsuccesfully i might add, I have just about given up. U see Im not all that smart on codeing and stuff so all thisreally is to me is a big confusing venture. So the whole deal w/ the avatar mod has now prohibited me to view and edit my and my users profiles. I see the avatar option in the admin section on the actaul site. but when i click i get an error not allowing me to proced to the avatar section. Same thing with my profile. Now i just added the private messege mod and I htink it went succesful but i dont see the private messege icon anywhere. Now i dont understand this part in the readme file:
I recommend that all Access users use the Connectstring in your config.asp file labeled as Access2000
This mod will behave better with it, instead of the connectstring labeled as Access97. You can still
use an Access97 database with the Access2000 connectstring.
examples of Access97 connectstrings: (not recommended that you use these with this mod)
'strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=c:\inetpub\dbroot\snitz_forums_2000.mdb" '## MS Access 97
'strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("/dbroot/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 97 using virtual path
examples of Access2000 connectstrings:
'strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\inetpub\dbroot\forum.snitz.com\snitz_forum.mdb;" '## MS Access 2000
'strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/fpdb/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path
Yeah i dont get that part. I did the moddb setup and altered the default file and it said everything went ok but yet i dont see the icon anywhere. What am i doing wrong? Should I throw the towel in and take it as is?

| If you want to e-mail me the necessary info to login via FTP to your site, I should be able to get both the Avatar MOD and the Private Messages MOD working for you. |

richard, i just mailed you again, seems there is another problem!!!
ps - i was wondering how difficult it would be to make the bgcolor of the avatar box white, i have some avatars but they have scrappy edges, and non featuring parts are transparent....
i hope its just the case of td bgcolor tag....

| you'd have to make the whole left box where the username/stars/post count and such white as well (the whole thing is 1 datacell). |
