Changing it is done as described here:

In the folder where the file mboard.php is located is also a file called setting.php

Open this file settings.php with a plain text editor (like notepad).
Search for:

Code: Select all

$settings['autosubmit']=1;
and change it to

Code: Select all

$settings['autosubmit']=2;

I do not monitor the Gbook forums regularly anymore since I do not use the Gbook script myself anymore for a long time. But it helped me a lot in learning to understand php.

Thanks, but now when I post a topic this is what comes out:


Warning: fopen(msg/4.html) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Not a directory in /home/freehost/t35.com/f/a/fantasticsite/mboard/mboard.php on line 445





Error

Couldn't create file "msg/4.html"! Please CHMOD the "msg" folder to 666 (rw-rw-rw)!



But I already chmoded msg folder to 666.

But the folder is only called msg right? no msg.php or stuff? and I didn't write anything in it, that is right correct?

Have you created a folder inside your mboard folder?

The msg folder is not present in the zip file. You have to create it yourself on your webserver.
And don't forget to chmod it to 666 afterwards :wink:

I think you have created a file with the name msg .
You should have created a folder with the name msg .

So delete the file msg from your server and create a new (empty) folder with the name msg instead. If you are on a linux server, you can go inside the mboard folder and type mkd msg to create the msg folder.

Than MBoard can created it's message files inside that folder.
