I've just set up a basic version of Snitz and I think its fantastic. I was running the "Forum Wizard" from Front Page before and this is just so much better.
One thing, I've got it running on my company INTRANET, and because I can track the IP, I'd like to remove the email requirement upon user registration. Our forum is meant to be annonymous anyway. I know that one could just enter "nobody@nothing.com" for an address, but all the same, I'd like to remove the option altogether.
Being a complete ASP idiot, I have no idea how to do this.
Help!

| Are you using a standard v3.1 SR4 version of the forum? If so, I can just take that part out, or just make them not be mandatory, in the inc_profile.asp, register.asp and pop_profile.asp pages and send them to you. |

I'm using 3.1 SR4. I'd still like the option to be there, or possibly I could hide it, but definately don't want the email part to be a mandatory field.
Thanks for your help!

Sorry to butt in, but I have a related problem. Our email addresses are "illegal" in that we are using MS Exchange and the format is x@y@z. I would like our users to insert this address when they register, but they can't as it is in the wrong format. How can I make a change to the address checking code to allow our type of addresses?

Jimmy,
On line #116 of register.asp find this code:
if EmailField(Request.Form("Email")) = 0 then
Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>You Must enter a valid email address</li>"
end if
either delete it or comment it out.
on line #789 and line #983 of pop_profile.asp find this code:
if EmailField(Request.Form("Email")) = 0 then
Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>You Must enter a valid email address</li>"
end if
either delete it or comment it out.
That should get rid of the requirement of only 1 @ in the e-mail address. |

Richard, thanks for the code that's allowed me to use our illegal addresses. See message above. All is now working fine.

From JimmyT at work:
Richard, I spoke too soon. I now find that I cannot login to the admin functions anymore. I reset the files back to default values that I had changed,but still can't get in. Another person who I had made an admin cannot access admin function either.
I see that in the pop_profile.asp file, the second change at line 983 is to do with admins. Perhaps this causes the problem.
Any ideas?

Found out the problem. Turned out that the Admin password had been set to <blank> in the database. I'm not sure how this happened, but everything is now working normally.

I am also interested in making the email field non mandatory in a standard v3.1 SR4 version of the forum for use on an Intranet. Could I also suggest that this might be made one of the admin configuration options in a future version.
Many thanks
Richard
