Sorry to cross posted and without checking the bug fix list first as I am still trying to get used to how things worked over here.
Now I downloaded the famous "Post2.zip" and made the change, something funny happened. The testing forum running on my XP desktop get the problem fixed, but the same file when I upload to my hosting site (same forum code, but running Win2K), the bug stayed.
Basically, I've running a version of V4 b3 with latest patches applied, I think it also complied version 3.3.03 as the admin panel display as that. The only Mod I've installed is active user 4.0.
Interesting what I found out, the "Post2.zip" modified post.asp has hard coded all the strings, this would break my "Internationalized" forum, so I did not use the post.asp straight, instead, I compare the difference and made change, there are only 2 line that is new (in red):
function OpenPreview()
{
var curCookie = "strMessagePreview=" + escape(document.PostTopic.Message.value);
document.cookie = curCookie;
popupWin = window.open('pop_preview.asp', 'preview_page', 'scrollbars=yes,width=750,height=450')
}
You can also look at the post.asp file here
So I copied the lines in my post.asp file, which now I believe has already incorporated the bug fix as I saw someone claimed somewhere in this forum, explains why there is so little difference.
On my localhost testing forum, this immediately fixed the bug, however when I uploaded the modified post.asp to my hosting site, the fix has not appear (it still doesn't let me move user between "allowed member list").
Later, I realized the v4b3+patch suppose to have this bug fixed, then I removed the above 2 lines I added in my localhost copy of post.asp, as expected the fix is still there, bug did not come back (curious why the bug show up at the first place?).
The I uplaoded the original copy of post.asp to hosting site, however, regardless what I tried, the hosting site just won't fixing on the bug.
These 2 forums are always kept in sync with files and access db file. The only difference is that one is XP another is Win2K.
Any idea will be helpful. Thanks.

Its posible that the script with the bug is cashed on your server, might take a few hours before it gets dumped.

Just wonder, is there any special requirements, like additional object to be installed on the IIS 5.0 server other than regular Frontpage server extension for Snitz forum to function?
I did try to load the original V4b3+patch to another site on the same server that the buggy site locate, the bug duplicated.
In the meantime, every time I install the above version of Snitz Forum on my home PC, never found the bug.
It seems even at the beginning, the hosting server present bug, which it should not, because the V4b3 even without post V4b3 patches (the 'asterisk' naming convention) already had this bug fixed according to some posts I read.

Snitz does not require any additional componants on IIS 4 or IIS 5.x
