Can't get the "Install this hack" to work

[Kevin King]

I've entered my info correctly i.e. when I click the link to my forum in my Members section it brings it up fine.

I am liscensed, but when I try to install a hack, it appears as things go well, as the page refreshes and then I get the option to uninstall the hack, however no functionality is ever present on the site. Usually I have to have my friend manually edit the files in order to make it work.

Currently I am trying to get the Warning system hack to work, and I was in the process of editing it manually, but it's just TOO much to do. What am I doing wrong as far as getting the hacks to work correctly? I don't have ImpEx installed, but I can have my friend install that if that is needed.

Sorry if this isnt the correct forum, I'm new to this vB stuff and any help is most appreciated.

Thanks.
