ok firs thing is, did you maka aback up of the forum.php file?
you should go back the the original, and in worse case senario jus get it from your original vb zip or just grab it from the svb site...
once you do that...you should go back and start from the first step on the forum.php file... i have to say i could not get it to work at first either, but it was all due to my errors, the hack works very nicely, if you want to see it working go to
