i got an avatar mod from snitzbitz, the most current version. I tried installing it yesterday, and no luck. well, i tired again today, and had my friend check after each file i modified. everything was going fine until i modified the last file, topic.asp. now, the avatars are not showing, and the original post has no avatar at all. But heres the thing, all the replies, are just topic numbers. like the reply would have the spot where the avatar is with a little x as the picture, like it cannot find it. and then it would have 3085, or the topic number as the whole post. And, when i click on a topic with multiple pages, i get an error:

Technical Information (for support personnel)

Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A0006)
Overflow: 'cLng'
/internet/nexus/forum/inc_func_secure.asp, line 50


Browser Type:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)

Page:
GET /internet/nexus/forum/topic.asp




but when i click on the page number itself, it comes up, but with all the replies being the topic number over and over again.

I followed instructions, i know i did. and on the last instruction where i copy and paste the stuff for my version... i know i have the right version copied. please help me. I've been trying to do this for 3 days now at no avail.

Here is the address to the forum.

http://65.174.230.76/internet/nexus/forum/default.asp
any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

by the way, i am using version 3.4.03.

most likely the problem lies in this section:

		rM_NAME = 0
		rM_RECEIVE_EMAIL = 1
		rM_AIM = 2
		rM_ICQ = 3
		rM_MSN = 4
		rM_YAHOO = 5
		rM_TITLE = 6
		rMEMBER_ID = 7
		rM_HOMEPAGE = 8
		rM_LEVEL = 9
		rM_POSTS = 10
		rM_COUNTRY = 11
		rREPLY_ID = 12
		rFORUM_ID = 13
		rR_AUTHOR = 14
		rTOPIC_ID = 15
		rR_MESSAGE = 16
		rR_LAST_EDIT = 17
		rR_LAST_EDITBY = 18
		rR_SIG = 19
		rR_STATUS = 20
		rR_DATE = 21
		if CanShowSignature = 1 then
			rM_SIG = 22
		end if
those have to be in the exact order that you have them listed here:
	'## Forum_SQL
	strSql = "SELECT M.M_NAME, M.M_RECEIVE_EMAIL, M.M_AIM, M.M_ICQ, M.M_MSN, M.M_YAHOO"
	strSql = strSql & ", M.M_TITLE, M.MEMBER_ID, M.M_HOMEPAGE, M.M_LEVEL, M.M_POSTS, M.M_COUNTRY"
	strSql = strSql & ", R.REPLY_ID, R.FORUM_ID, R.R_AUTHOR, R.TOPIC_ID, R.R_MESSAGE, R.R_LAST_EDIT"
	strSql = strSql & ", R.R_LAST_EDITBY, R.R_SIG, R.R_STATUS, R.R_DATE"
	if CanShowSignature = 1 then
		strSql = strSql & ", M.M_SIG"
	end if
	strSql2 = " FROM " & strMemberTablePrefix & "MEMBERS M, " & strActivePrefix & "REPLY R "
	strSql3 = " WHERE M.MEMBER_ID = R.R_AUTHOR "
	strSql3 = strSql3 & " AND R.TOPIC_ID = " & Topic_ID & " "


If the order gets messed up, then there is going to be problems.

If you had other MODS added before you attempted the Avatar MOD, then that section you modified had probably already been modified before, so the numbering may be different from what the Avatar MOD intructions show.

okay, well this is what i have, and i cannot tell if they are in order, bt i followed the directions.


rM_NAME = 0
rM_RECEIVE_EMAIL = 1
rM_AIM = 2
rM_ICQ = 3
rM_MSN = 4
rM_YAHOO = 5
rM_TITLE = 6
rMEMBER_ID = 7
rM_HOMEPAGE = 8
rM_LEVEL = 9
rM_POSTS = 10
rM_COUNTRY = 11
rM_Avatar = 12
rREPLY_ID = 13
rFORUM_ID = 14
rR_AUTHOR = 15
rTOPIC_ID = 16
rR_MESSAGE = 17
rR_LAST_EDIT = 18
rR_LAST_EDITBY = 19
rR_SIG = 20
rR_STATUS = 21
rR_DATE = 22
if CanShowSignature = 1 then
rM_SIG = 23
end if

and the other one is :

'## Forum_SQL
strSql = "SELECT M.M_NAME, M.M_RECEIVE_EMAIL, M.M_AIM, M.M_ICQ, M.M_MSN, M.M_YAHOO, M.M_PMRECEIVE"
strSql = strSql & ", M.M_TITLE, M.MEMBER_ID, M.M_HOMEPAGE, M.M_LEVEL, M.M_POSTS, M.M_COUNTRY, M.M_AVATAR_URL"
strSql = strSql & ", R.REPLY_ID, R.FORUM_ID, R.R_AUTHOR, R.TOPIC_ID, R.R_MESSAGE, R.R_LAST_EDIT"
strSql = strSql & ", R.R_LAST_EDITBY, R.R_SIG, R.R_STATUS, R.R_DATE"
if CanShowSignature = 1 then
strSql = strSql & ", M.M_SIG"
end if
strSql2 = " FROM " & strMemberTablePrefix & "MEMBERS M, " & strActivePrefix & "REPLY R "
strSql3 = " WHERE M.MEMBER_ID = R.R_AUTHOR "
strSql3 = strSql3 & " AND R.TOPIC_ID = " & Topic_ID & " "



are these in wrong order? and if so, then why do the instructions say they need to go in this order?

Also, thank you soooooo much for helping me out with this. this is my very first mod, and i am pulling my hair out. is it true that the avatar mod is the hardest mod? geez i hope so.



also, this "M.M_PMRECEIVE" is not even in the first sectio thingy... do i need to add it, and how do i do that?

yep, that M.M_PMRECEIVE is probably what's throwing it off, change that first section to this:

		rM_NAME = 0
		rM_RECEIVE_EMAIL = 1
		rM_AIM = 2
		rM_ICQ = 3
		rM_MSN = 4
		rM_YAHOO = 5
		rM_PMRECEIVE = 6
		rM_TITLE = 7
		rMEMBER_ID = 8
		rM_HOMEPAGE = 9
		rM_LEVEL = 10
		rM_POSTS = 11
		rM_COUNTRY = 12
		rM_AVATAR = 13
		rREPLY_ID = 14
		rFORUM_ID = 15
		rR_AUTHOR = 16
		rTOPIC_ID = 17
		rR_MESSAGE = 18
		rR_LAST_EDIT = 19
		rR_LAST_EDITBY = 20
		rR_SIG = 21
		rR_STATUS = 22
		rR_DATE = 23
		if CanShowSignature = 1 then
			rM_SIG = 24
		end if

okay, new problem, when i got to mass avatar add, i get this error:

Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A004C)
Path not found
/internet/nexus/forum/admin_avatar_mass_add.asp, line 88


Browser Type:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)

Mode=addThemNow&AvatarFolderNew=avatars1%2F&AvatarFolderMain=Avatars%2F&submit1=Submit

Time:
Saturday, October 18, 2003, 12:27:35 PM


More information:
Microsoft Support


what did i do wrong now???
when i opened the file and looked around line 88, this was there:

newAvatarFolder = Server.MapPath(Request.Form("avatarFolderNew"))


Set imagesFolder = filesys.GetFolder(newAvatarFolder)

set filesObj = imagesFolder.Files

For Each file in filesObj



Is that wrong? or do my folders need to be a specific name? My avatar folder (named "Avatars"), is in with the forum files, and inside the main avatar folder is the folder (named "Avatars1"), with all my new avatars. Help.... pleez

also, i find when i leave out the main folder name and leave the new avatar in the main forum folder as the author suggests, they do upload, but the images do not show up... they are a box with an x in it.


Okay... i edited this in as to not start another post, but everytime i try to add... all i get is "Congratulations, Back To Admin Home". Grrrrrrr... and none of them are uploading...this is making me angry
