Hey everyone im running vb 3.8 and i went and downloaded the config file from /includes and just added some super admins to the file and re uploaded it and now im gettin several errors such as :

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/vsn/public_html/forum/includes/config.php
Line: 1

You have a BOM, or other junk data infront of <?php in your config file.

How did you edit the file? Did you make sure to save it as ASCII only text file?

I just downloaded via Filezilla and opened the file in note pad and changed only the super admin member ids.

the line 1 of my config file is this

Chances are your editor isn't showing the UTF8 bom. But a file save as, and make sure to select ANSI for the encoding. then check it again.
