UAE, congrats on getting this one done; I remember playing with the vb3.0x version quite a bit. Which, brings me to a question. I had the old version, and, probably, still do, in my database (after I upgraded my board to 3.52.

Will the install of this version interfere with the database entries from the old version? Or will this install automatically drop the previous tables?

Looking forward to installing this. Hope you are well

some else i noticed...............when you log on a message from IE pos up saying

This page is accessing information that is not under its control. do you want to continue?

if you say yes everything is fine (but it keeps poping up everytime u reload the page or go to another thread) if you say NO
it gives the permission error

I just installed this - I am having the same issue as this person:

I click page user - the box is brought up of all online users, I check the user and click page user and am just brought to the top of the pager box like a #top anchor would.

I have did all the required edits in your install text file - and have edited permissions.

Ok, I will need to install a new style with a new images dir and test your bug, cos I haven't tried that.

Thanks dude
Okay, if you still got the old pager table in your database, installing this version should not harm your database, but I suggest that you drop the old pager table from your database, drop the old pager column from the user table, then install this one.
And no, it will not drop the previuse tables automatically, cos table name has changed in this version.
