What I was saying is that the url should have included modcp in there somewhere, but apparently it didn't, so I think that's the problem. To be honest I don't think the extra slash matters.

I was also saying that another possiblilty is that the file name should have been moderate.php or moderator.php since those are files that aren't in modcp, but I guess that's not likely, especially since neither of hose has a do=message section.

So, that means he either doesn't have a modcp and the files are in the general forum root, the url has been edited for display here and not been reconstructed properly or a template has been trashed somewhere.

(I did get you Kevin, i was really pointing out for the OP's sake how it should have looked and where he can check to see if the ?do exists, just didnt explain myself well :()

modcp exsists not with such name tho. I have not changed anything in any template regarding that. Moderate.php IS inside the modcp folder. clicking here http://prntscr.com/3wssk8 triggers that error page. Im using fractalizer mod but i never had this problem before.

Adding the mod folcer before the /moderate.php reslts in the same error of page not found

If you are clicking a link in that drop down, it should go to moderation.php (which is in your root directory, not the modcp directory), not moderate.php.

fractalizer is the one acting there I believe. and in fractalizer code is moderate.php not moderation.php.. all other links work fine but the visitors message one

You are right lynne all the others point to moderation.php, why is this one pointing to moderate.php?

I don't know. That very odd. Is it a modification doing that? Have you tried disabling modifications to see if it still does that? Or tried a default style?

Fractalizer is the only mod im using that deals with that. It enables those options in the notification area. It happens in default skin too

so noone else? this just happens when trying to go here http://prntscr.com/3z8cba
please need guidance/

Have you tried what Lynne suggested? that mod will be available in all skins, you need to disable the mod or hooks system in order to prove it isn't native vb that has the issue, if you find it goes away when the hook system is turned off you need to seek support in the thread of whichever mod is causing the issue.

this is what the mod calls for

When i click on it it takes me to http://www.sitename.com/moderate.php/?do=messages and page not found.. Is that / after moderate.php causing the issue? If so why is it adding that extra / ?
