Hey serverhacker good job.
Just wondering if I can use this forum with 3.3.5 database.
I have alot of users and posts so dont want to restart the whole thing again!
If its possible, then what are the steps that I need to take and be careful about before installing it?
1) back up your database. definately.
2) download the original snitz 3.4.3 forum. change config.asp to your database. run setup.asp (to update the database)
3) download the db files from the first post in this topic, and unzip them to the forum you just set up
4) go to admin / mods and install each mod. then log off
5) delete the snitz 3.4.3 forum (not your database!!)
6) unzip the serverhacker forum to your server
7) change config.asp to point to your database
8) should work now. worked for me, i didn't lose any posts or users.
good luck! make sure you have a backup of your database. always.  |

question (may be way off topic...)
i deleted the "this page has been viewed xxx times" from inc_header, because that was causing the scrollbars (at least for me).
uploaded the new inc_header
checked it. new inc_header (minus pageview) is on my server ok.
went to my forum. pageviews are still there (and causing scrolling). tried refreshing... still there.. deleted my local cache... tried a different isp... still there.. checked the inc_asp page again - the code isn't there. so why is it still showing up?
helllp! (and this is the last time i will ask for it.. honestly)  |

hi, al_iquana
look for this line in "inc_header.asp":
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ Page Viewed <b><font color=""" & strForumLinkColor & """>" & MyPageCounter.Hits & "</font></b> Times ]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
replace with this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"& n b s p ;" (with out the spaces ok)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
you can also remove this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Set MyPageCounter = Server.CreateObject("MSWC.PageCounter")
If Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR") <> "192.168.0.6" Then 'Set the IP to your own IP (if you have a static one, else leave it be)
MyPageCounter.PageHit 'Increments the Count
End If
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
also I went to your site and I do not see the "scrollbars" at the bottom. hope this help, let me know ok?

i removed the page-visits and now i get no scrolling at all. fixed. except if you view the page without loggin in, when the "register/logon" boxes mess it up, but i think i can fix that myself 
i'm amazed at this forum and i'm amazed that i'm actually learning some ASP. thanks all. woot! |

serverhacker, I think ur probably not seeing the scroll bars because you have your screen res high. Set it to 800x600 and you'll see what he means.

Confirm that removing the page views corrects the scrolling problem here.

i was going to say that, but it sounded too obvious 
re: the screen scrolling when you are logged off. i notice this happens on serverhackers demo site too (although he hasn't removed the page visits yet). could someone (who can work it out) change the logon boxes to look like this:
username ***********
password ***********
LOGON * save password
register | forgot password < small font
it would be neater in one column (i've tried to work out how to do it but i can't under stand it.... tr and td everywhere  )
yeah, removing the page-visits has fixed the scroll problem on both user screens and admin screens. maybe the code could be fixed? its put in a table that is right aligned, 1% wide i think (sorry about my newbieness). is that causing the problem? |

| I have noticed that on the Site News, if I make an announcement and make it sticky (because I want it to remain the first annoucement). Adding additional news updates push it down regardless of what I do. Is this a bug? |

Wow hackingMan great rebuild of the forum, tho my question :
You have in front of the forum (1 dir higher) a defualt(asp,htm,html) & index(asp,htm.html) witch calls the sitenews of the forum , i recon this is a kewl way to actually "kinda have a redirection without messing op your foum/default" but the prob is (at least at myTest Site ) that when you login it says Yup but when the page returns you are not logged in. Is there a way to make this work ???? would be great,
Also i got when i just put on the site a active_user.asp error, it resolved when i renamed the DB_name ??? but dont fall over it it is working
i also got a test of your forum on a local webserver and i am trying to implement a crash feature (the admin online/offline on posts) when i finally manage it to work problay i will mail you the zip file. |

you need to modify topic.asp to correct a bug in the avatar mod, as discussed here :
http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=34509
(it doesn't seem to affect your forum code, but its better to insert it just in case)
around line 557 / topic.asp :
rR_MSGICON = 22
if CanShowSignature = 1 then
rM_SIG = 23
'#######Avatar Start########
if StrShowAvatar = "1" then
rM_AVATAR = 24
rM_AVATAR_WIDTH = 25
rM_AVATAR_HEIGHT = 26
end if
else
if StrShowAvatar = "1" then
rM_AVATAR = 23
rM_AVATAR_WIDTH = 24
rM_AVATAR_HEIGHT = 25
end if
'######Avatar End########
end if

Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e10'
No value given for one or more required parameters.
