3. Q: When I try to install this, I get "Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/functions.php on line xxx".
   What am I doing wrong?
   A: You are trying to import the XML as a Plugin which is wrong. It must be imported as a Product (ACP / Plugin System / Manage Products).
4. Q: Why does this Hack not work?
   A: Although it is possible that you have discovered a new Bug that causes it not to work, it is more likely that you have made an installation/configuration/customization mistake.
   Before asking for support, please check:
   - Did you enter the Userid of the Sender?
   - Does the sender have permission to use PMs?
   - Does Usergroup registered have permission to use PMs?
   - Are you using the original Phrases?
