Hey John, the first problem has been solved, the semicolon worked no problem.
I still have a problem with the private messaging though. The lines are uncommented just how you said to do and the next lines are just like yours. The SQL error is still the same though. You can view my
Warn.php here if you want to verify anything for yourself.
Also, I warned my test account up to a ban and it went to the correct usergroup in the correct ban log (the one built into vB), but it said the ban was permanent. I have it set to 3 days in the Admin CP. If you have any idea what is going on with that I'd appreciate it.
Thanks for all the help,
Matt
