Line 106 of my forum.asp also is the inc statement you mentioned...
I am not quite sure why.. But after reading another persons post about the subscribing system(as far as enabling in the forum areas themselves as opposed to the admin area) and changing some of the settings there... The problem I described earlier does NOT occur anymore... Possibly I turned on the subscription system just not "all the way?" I am not exactly sure why it is working now but its seems to be ok.. Thanks for your attention though, Tuvor
