It would be nice if the admin password textbox in setup.asp had a confirm password box too (and did the necessary checking)
I just setup a test 3.4 forums and mistyped the password. Once it had completed I couldn't log in cos the password wasn't what I thought I had typed. |

LOL, that happend to me too. I typed in some bogus stuff while retesting a setup file and when it was done I had to login and I didn't know what I typed at setup  I had to start from scratch.
Richard, might be a good idea to also have a place for an Email address. It defaults to something now, but you could make it to accept it from the form, in a worse case scenario, you could click on Forgot My Password. |

| wouldn't work. E-mail is not on by default, and the e-mail server address would be wrong as well. |

In the inc_create_forum_*.asp files there is the following line:
strDummy = SetConfigValue(1,"STRFORUMURL","http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/")
Would it be any better to change it to the following:
strDummy = SetConfigValue(1,"STRFORUMURL","http://" & Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME") & "/forum/") |

What if I'm using http://www.mydomain.com/ladieda/ for my forums? |

Try:
strDummy = SetConfigValue(1,"STRFORUMURL","http://" & Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME") & Left(Request.ServerVariables("URL"),instrrev(Request.ServerVariables("URL"),"/")) )
could also do
strDummy = SetConfigValue(1,"STRMAILSERVER",Replace(Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME"),"www.","mail.") )
and
strDummy = SetConfigValue(1,"STRSENDER",Replace(strAdminName," ",".") & "@" & Replace(Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME"),"www.","mail."))
and also the email address on line 236 |

| why try to auto fill stuff that will most likely be wrong anyway? There's no reason that an Admin can't change these items once they have the forum setup and they have logged in. |

Might be a bit closer, but doesn't really matter that much.
You could get the "STRFORUMURL" correct though. |
