great thanks colin, Would you advise that we uninstall and reinstall? Or just replace the vbemail_reply.php?

you don't have to uninstall, but I advise checking that you have finished all the steps documented in the first post, as I have added steps...

ok thanks i will let you know how i get on :)

Colin, Thanks for the revised version.

Below are my findings and what i have done.

Actions i took

uploaded vbemailreply.php

Findings

I can now send to the forum :) using thread and newthread without adding the extra ] on the end. :) :) :)



My main problem is now is the cronjob. Maybe i am doing it wrong but i cannot get the mail to be delivered without manually running the cron job twice from within the VB control. I have also tried to run the job from my web hosting CP neither work.

I have also noticed when creating a new thread i noticed that it does not bring the title in the conformation email

I have tested the following and all work fine

[Quote]
smilies
Bold Text

I am going to test further.

Thanks again for your continued support.

about the cron job...

this is done using the normal cron system.

If you have it set up on a testboard, you might not have enough activity to trigger the cron...


Also, all the bbcodes/smilies should work, as it uses the same function.

I keep on getting the same 'no permission to post in forums'

Also, when replying to a thread, *not* posting a new one If I only put the code in there without a subject, it is all coming backing back to me.

if i had to guess it might be a conflict with another hack ? or maybe a difference between 3.0.3 and 3.0.1? If it helps colin i am using 3.0.3 un hacked.

I am using 3.01 if that means something

I commented out that section for the no forum permission and now I am getting a forum closed error

now I am convinced it has to do with the version. It does not see the forumid. When I comment out in vbreply both sections for the no forum permission and the forum closed error, I get a mysql error for an empty forumid

lastthread = '\This is the test thread\'',
lastthreadid = 1614,
lasticonid = 0
WHERE forumid =
