Have you searched THIS FORUM for your problem: yes
(if not please do before posting)
If so, what terms did you try: I checked to see that my settings.php indicated unix. I checked that the textarea name (message) and parent.opener.document.form.message.value agree. I reuploaded the images folder making sure to use binary. Read the readme again.

Write your message below:
Smilies will not appear in mesages.

Hi,

Hmmm, not sure what is wrong. In your settings.php file try adding www. to the $settings['mboard_url'] value and see if that helps (reload MBoard before testing).

Regards

Nope. That did not fix it. Smilies are a nicety not a necessity. So I'll just eliminate that function of the board ... unless you have another idea.

I really do like your board for its simplicity. Anyone can use it with confidence. I have boards such as this phpBB are intimidating to many.

Hmm. Just a thought: I have your board installed on another site (same host) and smilies work there:

http://www.massreformedchurch.org/mboard/mboard.php

When I have the time, I'll compare the differences in the two installations.

I added an .htaccess entry on massreformedchurch.org to disable magicquotes -- could that be the difference?

No, disabling magic quotes doesn't matter here.

Post your settings.php content here and I will have a look (change password to ****).

Regards

Try changing

$settings['mboard_url']="http://ladyhurricanes.net/mboard";

to:

$settings['mboard_url']="http://www.ladyhurricanes.net/mboard";

I tried; it makes no difference.

Is there a way to do a clean install while keeping the messages intact.

You can do a clean install, just DON'T do this:

- delete msg folder or any files inside
- keep your EXISTING threads.txt and count.txt files, don't upload blank ones

I suggest you backup your mboard folder before installing fresh, just to be sure.

Hello,

I think I figured out the logic of why it works sometimes:
