I have just recently installed Snitz Forums on our website that is based on Classic ASP.

I was very reluctant to just let the install proceed with an SQL Server install to our active database. But after a replicate of our data to a SQL DB on my personal computer I let the install proceed.

The install was awesome. I followed the Installation Instruction (Posting Guidelines: Read Before You Post) (OK, this link is a bit hard to find) in this Forum, to identify the install type, and to set up the connection string. The install then proceeded without errors. The install went so smooth, I was impressed.

The rest of the configuration was easy as well. Learning all the ins and outs is taking a bit longer, but going well.

I did make one program change. As “Home” (upper right) and the Logo (probably yours) links the user, by default, back to the Forum Homepage, I changed the Logo to link to our homepage. This is done at row 280 in file inc_header.asp

"    <td valign=""top"" width=""50%""><a href=""default.asp"" tabindex=""-1"">" & getCurrentIcon(strTitleImage & "||",strForumTitle,"") & "</a></td>" & vbNewLine & _

changed to

"    <td valign=""top"" width=""50%""><a href=""{your website homepage}"" tabindex=""-1"">" & getCurrentIcon(strTitleImage & "||",strForumTitle,"") & "</a></td>" & vbNewLine & _

The line looks incomplete here, but it is part of a continued line, so it’s OK.

Being very thankful for continued support for Classic ASP, I want to thank Snitz for a good product.

Your logo should find it in the default folder of the forum, unless you have created an image folder and the folder you put all button images and other posts in case you need to put your logo on file that i contains buttons.

Logo for your web address not only the name of the image of the logo xample: logo.gif.

Changing the default page that you made a mistake. If you want to see all these forums should you submit it to the original.

By cons in the Forum Settings you can set the home page by providing the web address of the home page of your site.
Cordially,
