reply to message / formatting problem

Post by callmecheez »

URL: www.aeonscream.com/mboard
Version of script: latest!
Version of PHP: don't know how to find out.
Host: www.qiq.co.uk
Have you searched for your problem: yes, found the 2 page recent thread; and tried everything suggested.
If so, what terms did you try: see above.

Message board is great; it initially works fine. New topics can be started ok. However;
Formatting is not retained when you view a topic
..and I can't seem to reply to a topic.

My settings file is as follows:

<?php
// >>> SETUP YOUR MESSAGE BOARD <<< //
// Detailed information found in the readme file

// What type of server is your website on?
// 1 = UNIX (Linux), 2 = Windows, 3 = Machintos
$settings['system']=1;

// Password for admin area
$settings['apass']="**********";

// Website title
$settings['website_title']="Aeon Scream Message Board";

// Website URL
$settings['website_url']="http://www.aeonscream.com/mboard";

// Message board title
$settings['mboard_title']="Aeon Scream - message board";

// URL to folder where message board is installed
// DO NOT a trailing "/" !
$settings['mboard_url']="http://www.aeonscream.com";

// Allow smileys? 1 = YES, 0 = NO
$settings['smileys']=1;

// Send you an e-mail when a new entry is added? 1 = YES, 0 = NO
$settings['notify']=0;

// Your e-mail. Only required if $settings['notify'] is set to 1.
$settings['admin_email']="theband@aeonscream.com";

// Display IP number of members posting? 1 = YES, 0 = NO
$settings['display_IP']=1;

// Maximum number of posts displayed on the first page
$settings['maxposts']=50;

// Keep or delete old posts? 1 = KEEP, 0 = DELETE
$settings['keepoldmsg']=1;

// File exstention for message files
$settings['extension']="html";

/* Filter bad words? 1 = YES, 0 = NO */
$settings['filter']=0;

/* Filter language. Please refer to readme for info on how to add more bad words
to the list! */
$settings['filter_lang']="en";

// >>> DO NOT EDIT BELOW <<< //
$settings['verzija']="1.21";
?>

Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks! :)

HI, from looking and trying,

i think you have these two parts mixed up:

// Website URL
$settings['website_url']="http://www.aeonscream.com/mboard";


// URL to folder where message board is installed
// DO NOT a trailing "/" !
$settings['mboard_url']="http://www.aeonscream.com";


swap the addresses around.

Yes, the two URLs are mixed up, swap them. Your new topics should work OK afterwards, the old ones will remain the same so just delete them.

Hi , it does work,

As Klemen said, delete the older ones, perhaps even mimic them if you want to keep them.

:lol:

Many thanks!

Last question ->

Is it possible to make it so people viewing the mboard can only reply to existing topics; rather than start more?

Then the site admin can start more topics?
