I have the latest file and there is still a problem with comments, I even set it to 1

The entered comment is too short. You have entered 0 characters, there are 1 necessary.

although, if you do it a second time after pressing the browsers back button ( typing it all out again ) it did work

cheers

I would re-upload entire zip, with all files think this one was missed out, hence ppl are having problems

This file is dynamically created at the install

This way instead of you being restricted to MyVideo and YouTube, you will be able to use any AME.

No, the two mods work on a completely other kind.

He means, what exactly were you doing, how many mods do you have on your forum, what are those mods. One of them may be causing this problem.

umm for some reason ... i go to
www.domain.com/forum/video.php it says i dont have the privelage.. however im the admiN!

[BJF]

Skye, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

what do i do?!

[Webnower]

You need to edit your usergroup permissions for whichever usergroups you wish to allow access; including the admin usergroup.

[BJF]

hwo do i do that? where do i go if im in admincp
