Is this the full error from vB? Looks like it doesn't like the SQL string I'm using. I'll have to look into this one some more and get back to you. I've not used mysql 5 yet.

This is the code I get from PHPMyAdmin after entering the query. The other error was from mysql.com when I looked up error #1064. Thanks!

I installed and have tried to use.

I can add the sponsors easily enough, but for some reason the actual links are not correct when clicked on.

Sponsored by - ThatGuy (http://www.thatguy.com) But when clicked the url = http://www.thatguy.com/forum/vB.Sponsors/link.php?f=12

So how do I remove the /forum/vB.Sponsors/link.php?f=12 part???

The sponsorship links will always appear in the following format:
Code:
http://www.yoursite.com/yourforum/vB.Sponsors/link.php?f=#
# being the id of your forum (automatically generated).

So if your forum is in fact thatguy.com, its appearing correctly. You do not need to add the actual URL after the sponsor's name. In fact, I would suggest you not do that. Its more beneficial to use the link generated by vB.Sponsors as it tracks the hits.

Hope that helps.

ThatGuy.com was an example, not my forum.
I did not add the actual URL when adding the sponsor name, I placed the url in the space that asks for it in the CP.

It is clickable but this is the address, http://www.thatguy.com/forum/vB.Sponsors/link.php?f=12 , which does nto take a visitor to the Sponsor's site at all.

Still confused.

Does it just not do anything (blank page)? Or does it error out? Can you show me a screenshot of the settings your entering as well as the actual address (either by PM or here)?

Has to be something simple that's been overlooked. :ermm:
