I actually added checks to post_info.asp also, so that if the person changes the URL to try to post it gives them the error message that only Admins and Moderators can Post New Messages.
<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size=2 id=quote>
That's my next step.

Odd,
I can post the instructions to the forum on both my boards, but get a truncation error if I try to post it here.
Anyway, here is a link to the instructions, sorry if they look abit weird, but it's full of forum code.

Ok...one issue. It seems that when I post a new topic, and get this message...
New Topic Posted!
Thank you for your contribution!
Back To Forum
...it no longer returns automatically to the message like it used to. What'd I do?<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size=2 id=quote>
Can finally answer my own question here... Front Page. <grumble> Even though I have it set to not mess with the HTML code at all, it STILL does with regard to META tags. The META tag that refreshes to the topic page got moved all the way up to the top and was encapsulated with <head> and </head> tags. <shaking head> Just thought some of ya might be interested...
Haven't even had a chance to mess with your new version HuwR....but I will!

In my testing FP works ok for publishing a web and setting up a web. The Snitz code doesn't agree with the Frontpage editor tho, so avoid editing any pages with it. Use notepad. This is mentioned in the readme for Snitz but the wording may imply that editing with FP is only bad for the config.asp file.
In addition, don't drag & drop folders or rename folders with FP. That fires off the same html validation that doesn't like some of the code in Snitz.
As long as you're willing to play by it's rules, FP is an excellent tool. The problem you're having is that the W3C spec is for META tags to be in <HEAD> only, and if tags are not their operation is undefined. So MS decided to enforce this in FP by making sure META tags are inside <HEAD> tags, creating the <HEAD> tags if necessary. The documentation clearly states that FP won't evaluate include files in it's editor, so it doesn't know that the <HEAD> tags are in an include file, so it makes the tags and moves the refresh tag. Voila, broken Snitz. FP has some other formatting rules that may unexpectedly alter code also, trial and error will determine where they are.
BTW, prior to FP2000 editing ASP files with Frontpage was a known, advertised no-no.
My recommendation is that Snitz code be altered as necessary to be FP safe, 'cause love it or hate it, FP isn't going away anytime soon.

I tried the code and faced some problems:
- An error came when editing a Forum to make it Accept replying only from Admins
Forum_forum url cannot be zerro -- or something like that
- When I created a new foeum, I got this error after it was created successfully
ERROR: Invalid forum type: 12
Can anyone help?
Thanx

the only part that validates the numbers is this bit.
<font color=red>INC_FUNCTIONS.ASP</font id=red>
<hr>
<font color=blue>Search for the sub chkUser4(), you will see a large <b>case</b> statement,
immediately before the lines
</font id=blue>
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
<b>case else
Response.Write "<BR>ERROR: Invalid forum type: " & rsStatus("F_PRIVATEFORUMS")
Response.end
end select</b>
</font id=code></pre id=code>
<font color=red>insert....</font id=red>
case 10,11,12

Thanx .. that fixed it .. but still when editing a forum I get the Forum_Forum.url cannot be zerro..
I hade to change it from the Database and it accepted my medification to make the forums reply from Admin only..
Still, nothing hapened. Everybody can reply to that forums.
I saw Sorr, you can't reply if you are not an Admin, then it's gone when I logged out from admin I still can reply with any user..
Sorry for the long message .. but I almost got more than 10 add ons and stuck on this one and also the Polls Posting. Still waiting for the V3.01 of the Polls.
Tx again

Unfortunately, it's on my PC. But you can see it if it's running like now.
http://212.118.101.41/NewForumsV3/post_info.asp I got this error when I changed the type of the forum to Members Only.
Error Type:
Microsoft JET Database Engine (0x80040E07)
Data type mismatch in criteria expression.
/NewForumsV3/post_info.asp, line 956

In my code, this line relates to URL's not to forums

BTW, I found this in the Data Base:
0 = Normal, 1 = Userlist Protection, 2 = Password Protection, 3 = Both, 4 = Members Only
in field F_PRIVATEFORUMS of Table Forum_Forum
Do I need to add the new Types?
