I found that after I implemented this mod, the "Message Preview" also affected. When I clicked on it, it showed also the signature preview but not the editing message.

I have no idea what to do next, as I'm a newbie on ASP, Javascript things...
Can someone help and tell me how to correct this? Thanks.

So you're saying when you clicked on the "Preview" button to view your message, you see your signature instead?

Try deleting your cookies, restart your browser and try again.

I am CoCoBug's colleague. Yes it works after I've delete the cookie. But once I clicked the Preview Signature button, and then post a new topic later. I found that the Preview button behave exactly the same as Preview Signature. The problem is not solved.

I've noticed the same thing after installing this mod.
Steps to recreate:
1) Try to post to a forum. Click preview. You will see the preview of the post you just entered.
2) Then go to your profile. Create a signature and click preview. You will see the signature preview correct.
3) Go back to post to a forum. Click preview. You will see the signature preview instead of the current message preview.
I'm guessing it has something to do with a cookie being set on the profile page and needs to be set back on the post page to be passed to the preview function. (I could be wrong, I'm a newbie )

Ok, here's a quick fix for this. In your pop_preview.asp file change this:
<% ' ########## Signature Preview Mod #################
if Request.Cookies("strSignaturePreview") = "" or IsNull(strSignaturePreview) then
	strMessagePreview = Request.Cookies("strMessagePreview")
	Response.Cookies("strMessagePreview") = ""
	if strMessagePreview = "" or IsNull(strMessagePreview) then
		if strAllowForumCode = "1" then
		' If forum code is on use the forum code
			strMessagePreview = "[ center ][ b ]< There is no text to preview ! >[/b][/center]"
		else
		' If forum code is off use html
			strMessagePreview = "<center><b>< There is no text to preview ! ></b></center>"
		end if
	end if
	strPreview = strMessagePreview
else
	strSignaturePreview = Request.Cookies("strSignaturePreview")
	Response.Cookies("strSignaturePreview") = ""
	if strSignaturePreview = "" or IsNull(strSignaturePreview) then
		if strAllowForumCode = "1" then
		' If forum code is on use the forum code
			strSignaturePreview = "[ center ][ b ]< There is no text to preview ! >[/b][/center]"
		else
		' If forum code is off use html
			strSignaturePreview = "<center><b>< There is no text to preview ! ></b></center>"
		end if
	end if
	strPreview = strSignaturePreview
end if
' ######################################################
%>
to this:
<% ' ########## Signature Preview Mod #################
if Request.QueryString("preview") = "sig" then
	strSignaturePreview = Request.Cookies("strSignaturePreview")
	Response.Cookies("strSignaturePreview") = ""
	if strSignaturePreview = "" or IsNull(strSignaturePreview) then
		if strAllowForumCode = "1" then
			strSignaturePreview = "[ center ][ b ]< There is no text to preview ! >[ /b ][ /center ]"
		else
			strSignaturePreview = "<center><b>< There is no text to preview ! ></b></center>"
		end if
	end if
	strPreview = strSignaturePreview
else	
	strMessagePreview = Request.Cookies("strMessagePreview")
	Response.Cookies("strMessagePreview") = ""
	if strMessagePreview = "" or IsNull(strMessagePreview) then
		if strAllowForumCode = "1" then
			strMessagePreview = "[ center ][ b ]< There is no text to preview ! >[ /b ][ /center ]"
		else
			strMessagePreview = "<center><b>< There is no text to preview ! ></b></center>"
		end if
	end if
	strPreview = strMessagePreview
end if
' ######################################################
%>
Make sure to remove the spaces around the [ center ] forum codes. Had to put them in so they wouldn't be converted.

Next change in pop_profile.asp, in the Javascript function:
popupWin = window.open('pop_preview.asp', 'preview_page', 'scrollbars=yes,width=450,height=250')
to this:
popupWin = window.open('pop_preview.asp?preview=sig', 'preview_page', 'scrollbars=yes,width=450,height=250')
If you have anymore problems with it let me know.

popupWin = window.open('pop_preview.asp', 'preview_page', 'scrollbars=yes,width=450,height=250')
to this:
popupWin = window.open('pop_preview.asp?preview=sig', 'preview_page', 'scrollbars=yes,width=450,height=250')
