i have all the same problems as craig! i get it working by butchering my way through various files, but then when there's an update to the forum, i have to try and remember what i changed and where!!

it's been a good learning experience though!!

Ive got my wrestling site working on this now.

I am trying to get my christian site working on this idea now.

I am getting the old internal server 500 error. What it strange is the code all matches and the chmods are all fine (ive checked via smartftp and via cpanel to be sure!) so i dont know whats going on now. Anyone any ideas the url im working on now is http://www.followers-inn.com/forums it seems to be going to the right place (as in when i goto the full url to the blah.pl script i also get the 500 error). Its as if the chmod is wrong but ive checked it and its not.

Some servers don't allow that .htaccess to work.

I do installs for $25 and upgrades for $20.

Nooooo. When I save my settings in the admin center, it removes the trailing / from the end of the Forum address. Why?...and yes, Settings.pl is chmod'd to 666.

Ok, then explain to me why your news on your home page works for you when you click on the message title, but when I do it on mine it doesn't work. For what ever reason, I need that / at the end of the forum address.
