Is it okay that I am using an ACCESS database?
I assumed that that's OK but I can't be 100% sure about it. Perhaps someone else can help us with this?
Did you try closing the browser completely and opening it again? I found when I was developing the MOD that this helped to reset the code.< |

I got it. I never updated the Config file as well. I thought that I could just import the files that were in the ZIP file. Is the Config file the only file that we have to Manually configure for this to work?

Ah I see. Yes, that's the only one. Trouble is, if I give you a file to overwrite your config.asp, all your DB information will deleted so I had to list the individual changes to that one.
The latest version also has the full list of chages for guys/gals who have modified their forums and don't want to lose their work.
Good to hear you got it working. Enjoy!   < |

Sorry guys, I just noticed that my readme files are poorly organised and somewhat misleading. Thank you for your patience.
Needless to say I've sacked the writer and re-done them myself!
.zip file updated.
(Glad I've not officially 'released' it yet - so many little bugs!)< |

Thanks for the prompt reply, I'm already recoding now. It is pretty tough to recognise in the code where the nav starts and stops and what exactly I can cut and paste into the includes. ..am trying the border=1 tips to help...any other clues would be appreciated..e.g. to get rid of the 'messageboard' text?
Again many thanks< |

blucas,
I to am starting to work on the navigation in the header. Once you have found what to cutout would you mind sharing?
Thanks

Same code changes in inc_header.asp (inc_top.asp in 3.3.03) and inc_footer.asp just in different places.
All the rest should be OK in 3.3.03.< |

This looks great. Unfortunately I am not good at HTML so will have to mess around with it. Would I make the changes directly to what you have in the file or does that just refer to another section where I would make the changes.
Thanks and good luck on the interview

I'm not quite sure what you're meaning there, but once you installed the mod, the only chnages you'll need to make are to the inc_site_[section name].asp files which will contain copies of the HTML/ASP you use for the rest of your web site pages.

I am referring to the file that you just posted above. I copied that into the inc_site_leftside.asp file and now I am trying to manipulate it to look the way I want. That’s what I was referring to when I said that I am not that good with HTML. I wish that I could see & manipulate it through FrontPage and copy the underlying code. (I know, I know you hate FrontPage, but right now I have been using it as a crutch. I just started this hobby and have not had the time to learn HTML as well as do my real Job! HAHA)
Another question that I had was how do I erase the current navigation + Login/out section? I want it completely out of the top. I am planning to put it on the Left or right side

If I'm honest, this is going to be really tricky for someone without a reasonable knowledge of HTML and at least the odd encounter or two with some ASP code.
Unfortunately, I can't be on hand to help everyone with a complete rebuild of their forums, so you really need to be able to do the bulk of the work.
You can get the job done with Frontpage, but you'll never really understand what is going on because it purposely hides the nuts'n'bolts code away. If you've been using Frontpage for a while you'll be familiar with some of the basic concepts of building web pages, but if you're fairly serious about coding, make the break into coding HTML by hand, using a text editor of some kind.
You'll find there's a whole other world of flexibilty and features in HTML that Frontpage just doesn't do.
