[grumpy]

There seems to have been a slight problem with the database, etc etc

I backed it up first and then started from scratch, still got the same error.

I admit I don't know anything about php, but I'm curious about the coding in the instructions. For example, you say to find:

PHP Code:

if ($post[hascustomavatar] and $avatarenabled) {
        $avatarurl="avatar.php?userid=$post[userid]&dateline=$post[avatardateline]"; 


and replace with:

PHP Code:

if ($post[hascustomavatar] and $avatarenabled) {
        if ($usefileavatar) $avatarurl=$fileavatarfolder . "/avatar$post[userid]_$post[avatarrevision].gif";
        else $avatarurl="avatar.php?userid=$post[userid]"; 


As I say, I don't know PHP, but every instance I've seen of else is enclosed as } else {, but not in your script. Could this cause the error?

thanks
