Im very new to this forum system and had it basically dumped on us.
Does anyone know how I can edit the text of the user agreement/privacy statement that people see when they go to register? (I have looked at fild called register.asp but actual text isnt in it) |

It's in inc_policy.asp.

There's a newer version that wasn't posted to SnitzBitz. After some digging, I found it posted here: http://ftp.heanet.ie/disk1/sourceforge/o/on/onewayscripts/ I just posted to SnitzBitz.
The 1.2 version is the one that should be used with a 3.4.07 install. It was written for 3.4.06, which is when the policy page was moved to inc_policy.asp and certain changes were made to register.asp. I have the 1.2 version of the Custom Policy MOD running on a 3.4.07 install. |

I'm running MOD Version: 1.2 for Forum Version: 3.4.07. The installation seemed to work fine but when I try to edit my Policy and hit submit policy it says congratulations the policy has been posted congratulations. but when I go to the register page the policy has not changed.

I don't want to sound like a durf here, but when you submitted your new policy, did you make sure you chose Custom from your Display Mode? If you chose Default, then that would explain what is going wrong.
Make sure you ran your dbs_ file.
Also, make sure you edit your inc_policy.asp file. Around line 74, it should be something like this:

I just made my own policy.asp page and changed the forum Register link to point to it.
The very first thing it does is check to see if they got there from the Register link on my site, which blocks almost all bots.
<%
if not Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") = "http://yourServer/Policy.asp" then
response.write "You can must access this page from the site" or whatever you want
else
'go ahead and display the page
end if
%>
You can do the same thing on the actual resister.asp page at the top too and look for your policy.asp page as the referrer.
This really frustrates bots and hackers ;-}

Since 3.4.06 policy.asp isn't used any more, so if you're using 3.4.06 or newer that isn't really going to help as much...
Volnar, have you checked the database to make sure your custom policy is getting saved, and have you had any problems with other settings not getting saved? |

Sorry for the late reply, it's been a busy week.
I am using the custom option and no my inc_policy.asp does not have that code. Here is my Inc_Policy.asp

I do believe the policy was created in the data base as I have this
dbo.FORUM_CUSTOM_POLICY
in my master database, forgive me if this is wrong as I'm a sql newbie.
I have installed other MODs successfully (avatar mod) and it created the databases no problem.

Do I ever know how that goes...
Based on what you've posted there, you forgot to upload the new inc_policy.asp that came as a part of the .zip |
