Thanks for the reply.
I got to messin with this the other day. I started playing around with the last field in the setting table ( INSERT INTO setting VALUES (NULL,86,'Help Desk Forum','helpforum','0','The forum id for your help desk.','','1') )
For some reason it didnt like the lastd field value. I got to looking at what was in similar fields till I found one that worked. Textfield did the trick though I dont like it as I know its not what was intended by the author.
If I was barking up the wrong tree feel free to redirect me
