The server is probably non-existent. Make sure you have the settings in the database correct for that server.

It's the use of the preg_replace function that is not compatible with older version of php. The newer versions support using $1 for the first match, but in older version, it uses \\1 for the same thing. Newer versions of course are backwards compatible, so I have changed it to the old way so it works for everyone. Try out the gateway.php I attached and let me know if that works for you. If it does, I'll release this version.

That's just the 'title' that is being put in the signature. If there is no custom title, it is not put in there. Does vB use the cutom title field to define "moderator"? If it does, I suppose I'll make it an otpion to disable that in a future release.

Gateway.php works great, thank you!

I have the control panel and the database the title moderator is not part of custom titles. Moderator is defined is stored under usertitle field in usergroup table. I would really appreciate if that can be removed (or atleast as an option).

Btw, Tinyurl is a great idea!

Once again thanks for this hack, this is like dream come true!!!

I just tried it out on my test forums and when i made a moderator, it changed the usertitle, but left the customtitle set to 0. The user title is only output in the signature if the customtitle is set to 1, as is most likely the case for you. If you set customtitle to 0, then everything should be normal for you.

Oops, my mistake! I somehow had customtitle set for my user id. Thanks.

I finally got it working :)

My database grew from 13 megs to 300 megs. :(

Now is there a command, I can run, to reduce that.

Most of the posts has replies in it. ie

>>
>>>
>>>
>>

So if I want to remove lines like those,...

what is the command to do so?

Thanks
