Edit config.asp
Remove the comment in front of strDBType = "Access"
Remove the comment in front of this strDBType line and edit it:
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/USERNAME/db/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path
Upload all the files to Brinkster, make sure you place the database in the /db/ directory.
To prevent others from simply downloading your database, best thing to do is change the name of the file before you upload it to something like mysecretname.mdb and then use:
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/USERNAME/db/mysecretname.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path

default.asp
But that is the default  file, so say you installed it in /forum/
then typing http://www.yourbrinksterurl.com/forum/ would be enough.

Yes

Switch off the "friendly error messages" in Internet Explorer and reload the page. You will then get an error message than is more informative.
Please post the error here.

Hello again.
I seem to have a problem.
When I click on the smilie button it says it cannot be found. I checked and have uploaded pop_icon_legend
Also can I change the name of the admin?

Sorry but I have another problem.
I just installed the avatar mod and it seemed to go okay. But where do the avatars appear?
I done an avatar and set the name to admin but it doesn't seem to appear under the admin name.

What is the exact error are you getting?
Can you provide a link to your forum so we can take a look at it?quote:

It is advised not to change the default Admin username. You can create a new account and name it anything you want, and then logged in as admin, you can set the new account as an administrator.

Also how do you make someone joint Admin?
I seem to be only able to find how to make people moderators.

I can't reproduce that error. The smilie page comes up ok on your forum. quote:

I haven't used the avatar mod so I can't help you on that. You can post that question in the Help: MOD Implementation forum or look in the same topic that you downloaded the mod from to see if other users have asked the same question. quote:

To make someone Admin, login as admin, go to the members.asp page, click on the pencil icon beside the user that you want to make admin, when you reach the Edit Profile page, there will be a dropdown box at the bottom right that allows you to make them an Admin.
