I have uploaded the forum to my website and it is working very well. trouble is i am iunable to make some configuration changes through the admin. I cannot enter the name of my mail server. It continues to default to the your.mailserver.com and I the radio button stays on off for email. simlarly i cannot get it to show the time generated foir the page and one or two other things.
I uploaded as per the instructions and am wondering what i need to do |

| That does happen sometimes. It's usually a server thing and it's hard to overcome. Usually what I recommended is that you use a small dbs script to set the value for the variables you need and then run setup.asp. |

| Thank you. The intersting thing is that my web host recommends Snitz forums and offers them on his servers. Also, as a relative beginner to ASP (my only web scrpting experience is in Coldfusion)I am not sure how this would work. Will it make any difference that I set up the database (Access)with a DNS connection. Also would it be better to use a MySQL database? |

If you tell me precisely the settings you have been unable to change, I can write a dbs script for you to use.
If you plan to use Access, I'd recommend using an OLEBD connections, so no DSN, please. I don't think that will help with the current problem, but I can't be definitive on that, cause it's kinda difficult to pinpoint the exact cause for that error. MySQL is preferred to Access, so if you can use it, I think you should. Can't guarantee it will allow you to overcome this issue, either. |

Hey man... I am having the same trouble but in a different catagory. I helped a friend do a forum and it worked great. I was able to set the age to 18 instead of 13 and I was able to set the highest level of subscriptions up so that one can subsrcibe to topics. Now I loaded and set up mine. Now that I try to change the age from 13 to 18 for registration and then submit, it does not work. Then when I set up highest level of subscribtion I am not able to set up my forum topics to allow subscription H*LL I am not even able to see send topic to a friend show up on mine. Not drinking yet but close... Please advise...
Thanks,
MrJustice |

If you want to email me your forum URL and admin access data, I promise to have a look, though later on. I'm leaving for a few hours to run my first half-marathon in six years  , so I can only try to have a look at that when I return. |
