Did you use to have TWTCommish's hack? There may be conflict as they use the same table names. Your problem is strange as they can see the shoubox.php page, so it's not a permission problem. But when they post a shout, nothing shows up. Did you change anything at all to the hack? Did you run the queries to install the tables?

One thing I always try when I get a bug that I don't know the cause of, is to delete everything (all files, templates and db entries) and start over. It usually works. :)

nope I never had TWTCommish's hack. I think I will reinstall it from the start, thanks for all your help, advice and time.

oh well still no luck. I guess I will look at another chat based hack

I've got a problem doing backups and restore to a test database with this hack.

The hack works great, my members love it, but everytime I have to upgrade or do a backup, I have to remove the shoutbox and start over. This prevents me from doing periodic backups.

What's the score? Any fixes for this problem?

btw, it's not so much having to start over when I do an upgrade, I can live with that, it's that the backups are corrupted. I can't keep removing the shoutbox everytime I do a backup.

This is the error message:

Error 1064 at line 807992: You have an error in your SQl syntax near 'replace varchar (225) NOT NULL default ' ',

It would be great if Unregistered member could post also (as an option Yes / No)
