Help my PMs dont work

[ImportsNC.com]

Ive been running a 2.3.4 for about a year now. We have never been able to use our PMs or avatars. The rest of the forum works fine exept these 2 areas... with our current growth I would really like to get them working. Any ideas? My forum can be found at ImportsNC (http://importsnc.com/ASCII/index.php?)

I dont have any training in coding or any of that so I dont know anything technical about vB, after I finally got it installed I was too drained to figure out the PMs and avatars.


Thanks SOOO much

Umm Im really not sure to honest! I use Yahoo small business for my hosting if that gives you a better clue. And no i havent tried 2.3.5...maybe I should, how hard is to upgrade

Well using yahoo is most likely your problem, you should look into moving hosts soon :)

I would like to get updated to vB 3 but I couldnt download those files tonight AND it kinda scares me to do that! lol Messin up my forum right now at this crucial point could cuz big problems for me... not that we are huge but the new site release 1.1.05 has cause a sudden growth to a healthy level I dont wanna lose. Im still very much an amature at this. I can do pretty good web design but I dont have any training in this techical world

Im really scared to change host too! Any help with that would be greatly appreciated too. I pay $20 a month right now for that which is higher than alot of places... but they do have some pretty nice features.. I have 4gb of webspace ... way more that I can use and way more transfer than I can use. But my site needs a good amount of space since we host coverage of car shows and model features... and soon videos. So I will probably use 1gb but it will take me forever to get towards 4gbs
