Running ver 3.4.03 and just about to add the PM MOD but I get nothing after the files are uploaded, just a 404 error on the page.
Would appreciate a look from an asp bod. You can see my modded files at:
Config
default
inc_iconfiles
admin_home
members
topic
inc_header
pop_profile
Otherwise the rest of the included files have uploaded OK and I have no other mods installed.
Thanks in advance

A 404-error? That seems strange. Which page did you get that error with?
Did you enable Private Messages in admin_pmmaint.asp? |

| I get the error when going to default.asp after uploading the modded files above. Since the other asp files included in the zip did not originally exist, I uploaded them 'as they were' with no editing. Are you saying I need to edit admin_pmmaint.asp? There was no mention of this in the readme. |

No, you don't need to edit admin_pmmaint.asp, but you need to enable PMs before they will show up on your forum. Login to admin options and go to Private Message Maintenance. There you need to allow PMs for the mod to show up.
Could you upload the modified default.asp as default1.asp to your website? |

Therein lies the problem, if I can't see the site, I can't get to the admin options. Have done default1.asp as you suggested and it loads fine. Because of the redirection I use you can see it on:

| Is there a sequence of uploading I can use to find the problem file (ie next upload topic.asp etc)? |

If you couldn't reach the website, it must have been because of another problem (which does happen with free hosts from time to time). Adding a mod to the forum will not cause such problems.
Try again to upload the modified files, and see what happens. You don't have to upload them in any specific sequence. |

Right. Getting an error now:
--------------------------------------------------------
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e37'
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot find the input table or query 'FORUM_PM'. Make sure it exists and that its name is spelled correctly.
/bikerchat/inc_header.asp, line 220
-----------------------------------------------------------
I think it's the instructions being a bit vague on the positioning of the code for the private message count for the display.
Quote from the readme file:
--------------------------------------------------------
INC_HEADER.ASP
Add the following: (about line 260)
This code needs to be after the connection is opened near the top of the page and after
strDBNTUserName is defined. It needs to be placed before sForumNavigation() is called.
-----------------------------------------------------------
I've tried a few combinations and get different errors so I think it must be down to the positioning of this block of code. Trouble is there is lots of code between defining strDBNTUserName and calling sForumNavigation. |

| Anyone got an idea exactly where this code should go on a standard INC_HEADER.ASP file? |

I've made a slight error when I said that you could upload your modified files. Before you upload them, you need to upload and run the dbs-file (dbs_PrivateMessages.asp) from Admin Options -> Mod Setup. Then upload the modified files.
When you have run the dbs-file, you will not recieve the error in inc_header.asp, where it seems that you added the code in the correct place.
Sorry for any inconvenience. [:( |

That's the one I was waiting for! Did what you said and it worked. To summarise for anyone who has problems like I did and can't find the info anywhere:
Drop the non-modded files from the PM zipfile into relevant directory
Run admin options
Mod setup
Check installation
Upload your 8 modded files (see my first post in this thread)
Hit the home button and away you go!
Tack så mycket Masterao, you've been a great help.
PS Forgotten realms is looking good!
