Great :) Thanks for the vote Kat :D

I would LOVE to try this mod but I'm too much of a rookie to know EXACTLY what to do if it requires alot of manual code altering. Do I download it and upload to the server and turn it on and that's it? Or is there more involved? Currently I report each and every spammer to SFS manually. Am I being overly concerned about knowing how to plug it in? I'm running 3.8.4

The author can probably elaborate on this, but it requires no file edits. You can basically download it, upload it to the server and turn it on, and then configure it.

I always test new plugins on a test system, which you can easily set up with xampp and any windows pc.

Which file do I upload to the server? I've already downloaded it to my local. I had a little difficulty understanding exactly which file/s needed to make it to the server.

There's an installation.txt file that goes through it pretty step-by-step. If you have questions about a specific step, ask away. :)

Exactly which file/s do I upload to the server? It states not to load the upload file, but rather to load it's contents. But there is one xml file outside of the contents of the upload file

The files under the 'upload' directory need to go in their appropriate directories. You should be able to just select everything under the upload directory in your ftp client and tell it to upload to your forum root. That will get all the files there.

Once that is done, you run the xml file included in the zip file by going under admincp-->Plugins & Products-->Manage Products-->[Add/Import Product]. Then set up the options like the installation file says and you should be done. :)

So just overwrite the existing files on the server with the ones in the upload file or merge them?

I'm out of here for tonight. I'll pick it back up tomorrow. Thanks for your replies.

Sorry, got busy working on my site for a bit.

There shouldn't be any files there to overwrite. If it asks about overwriting, stop and check what's going on. These files are specifically for the plugin and shouldn't be there.
