in reference to the above post, there were two problems

if you are below mysql5 you need to remove ENGINE=MYISAM from the XML and from ap_recruit_functions.php

Also in some cases (i have no idea why) $PHP_SELF is an issue, if it is, you will need to open your template for the game you're using adv_portal_GAME_recruit_updater

change

<form method="POST" name="recruitment" id="recruitment" action="$PHP_SELF/$vba_options[portal_homeurl]?do=recruit_update" onSubmit="postMethod(); return false;">

to

<form method="POST" name="recruitment" id="recruitment" action="http://www.yoururl.com/$vba_options[portal_homeurl]?do=recruit_update" onSubmit="postMethod(); return false;">
