This is crazy....

its its complaining about a table on an old database not the current one !!!

the form is reading database 373, and the complaint is about database 364 which is my old db before the upgrade few days ago ....

my config is fine

any idea why the mod is trying to read an old database? I could delete the database but I rather keep it for few more days.

Thanks

Mod completely stopped working for us after upgrade to 3.7.3. We had 3 birthdays since and NONE were posted. Very frustrating. Seems to work on and off and never accurate posting time when it did work for a very short time. Followed settings everyone mentioned here and nothing.

Works just fine now, but I have to edit 1 or 2 smiles so they don't show up.

Any chance of a 3.8 version (I know its beta).

I have vb 3.7.3 PL1 running on my board but unable to get this hack to work. I read through all the comments here and did try every suggestion. Does anyone have the same problem and what did you do to get this to work? Thanks in advanced.

Hi

I have a problem with this mod, had it on the old version too.
I translated the phases to Spanish and is my default language.
The problem is in a week the mod post in spanish 5 times and 2 times he posts in English.
But if my default language is spanish why he posts sometimes in english.
Any fix?

Thanks in advanced
