The problems is GoDaddy, their PHP actually. They have disabled required standard functions for reading and writing files. Unfortunately MBoard (nor any other PHP script that reads from/writes to files) will work there.

Well I called godaddy to yell at at them, but they said i could remedy the problem of PHP not writing to the .txt with am upgrade.
So they switched me over to a PHP linux server that the guy i talked to said it would work on and i uploaded everything. I still get through the up to the security number just fine, and then when i click submit it takes me to a cannot find page error (ive gotten a go daddy one a a IE one). Anyways when the page it wants to take me to seems to have an extra mboard.php at the end compared to others who have the message board?? I dunno??!
I tried now and it worked, so I guess you already figured out what the problem was - it was setting $settings['mboard_url'] in the settings file, you mustn't add /mboard.php to that URL.
Also seems like your header.txt file is missing, you might want to upload that to the server to avoid the error messages you get.
