and stupid Gladhatter ask here only if you have checked those links to see if they all point to same place or differnt one?

And edits post to say they are all differnet as I just checked.

Hrm, looks like I didn't have that for some reason. I believe I had a development version The Geek had sent me a while back still installed. Okay, my fault. Let's see, did you run these in test and verbose mod first and not run into any problems?

The fault shows up in test or not test.

Hrm, I would try reinstalling AME again, as you seem to be getting errors on the check to see if everything is installed. Re-upload the files and then reinstall AME the same way you would do as if doing an upgrade and see if it inserts the proper tables this time. Remember that your definitions will be reset to the default set.

OK, did a full reinstall, and same end result.

I dont think the install is the issue atm.

this is a wonderful modification.
i was just wondering if it is possible to launch this officially in 3.8 as well so that i dont have to come in here again.

it is working though with 3.8 @ my forums.

I've seen this error once before, but it wasn't corrected publicly in this thread. So I'm not sure if they found a solution. The only thing I can think of at this point is that you've got a conflicting modification or the remnants of one. Have tried disabling all your modifications one by one to see if anything changes?

It just depends on when The Geek has time to come back to the forums again.

I hope to take time to learn the regex libs soon if it is in my grasp as I have found that the few sites I find or are sent to me are not suitable for it yet.

Let me first start by apologising for my sporadic attendance here, however my rl zaps most of my free time now and I have less time to code and/or support this project. Let me then follow up by again thanking DJ for his tireless support of this mod. If it wasn't for his support, I am sure most would agree that this mod would be as dead as a doornail (whatever the hell a dead doornail is).

Smirkley, I do seem to recall that the last 2.5 release had an issue with conversions of old blogs, social group and visitor messages. IIRC, I think I had it resolved on a local development build, however I am not keen to simply zip up what is on my dev server without really spending the time to comb back through the code to ensure there are not any loose ends left undone (its been months since I have worked on it).

The problem was that the tool would give a db error trying to do conversions of old data and no changes would be made. It in no way affected the underlying data (but of course it wouldn't convert old info into ame's either!). The rest of the system works hunky dory. New visitor messages, blog posts, etc... worked fine... (as well as edited ones) just not the conversions of old data using that particular tool.

I will try to set some time aside over the next week or so to comb back through the code and see if I can get a final release into the 3.8 forum (yes, this indeed works on 3.8). Until then, know that the system works fine - there just isn't a working tool to automatically convert old blogs, social messages and visitor messages.

Geek, I am also wishing to thank DJ and yourself and your devotion to life as well as this program. I wish to assure you for what it is worth that your work has added flavor to my life and even affored me a pleasurable day of music and a day off of RL just yesterday. It is a huge hit on our fledgling forum and getting better. I am listing to music as I type this in fact and am ever so appreciative.

I wish to add to the "usless knowledge base" for you. A door nail is that nail that is used in the top or door of an old time wooden coffin and thus the association of death.

While probably not originating in the original bird flu pandemic during WWI it certainly gained poplar usage there when often was the case in these parts that there was not enough living in communites to bury the dead. But I digress and yet again I wish to thank you for your finest code.

Should you decide at some point to drop it, I will likely hire help if possible to continue it.
