Do you have your forum stuff in a seperate subfolder?

[jitsuboy]

Not sure what you mean.

With Filezilla I upload everything to /public_html and everything usually works.

What do you think the problem is?

[Hostboard]

The files to upload need to go where your forum software is located. For example if your forums are in /public_html/forums (http://www.YourSite/Forums) then you need to upload to that location.

The not found error you are getting just means the file is not being found where it thinks it should be.

[Fraxter]

Or: Be sure that you have uploaded the "decimator.php" into the same folder where the "forum.php" is.

You find {vb:raw template_hook.memberaction_dropdown_items} in memberaction_dropdown template, then add above it:

<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6||$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 7||$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 5||$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 10">
<li class="left">
<img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_siteicons}/moderation.png" alt="" />
<a href="#" class="spam" onclick="window.open('decimator.php?userid={vb:raw post.userid}&amp;threadid={vb:raw post.threadid}&amp;postid={vb:raw post.postid}','spam_decimator','statusbar=yes,menu bar=yes,toolbar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,w idth=850,height=600'); return false;"><font color="red">Spam</font></a>
<span class="seperator">&nbsp;</span>
</li>
</vb:if>

You can change the groupid number depend on your forum

More details?
IP checker only works, if some user have exactly the same ip.

I guess "2.0 Beta 2" is a more updated version of the mod rather then "2.0 Beta", however I find it a bit ambiguos.
Also I can't find the option menu, so I can't choose to wich forum move the deleted posts and neither to hard delete them.
Also I think that the "check IP adress" should only tell moderator if anybody used the same IP adress and then give him the possibility to choose accordingly, giving them some kind of link and not brutally deleting. This may lead to errors. Painful errors.
Also I should be able to disable to the moderators the ability to ban// check the same ip adress.
I can't allow moderators to use this mod untill you give us the possibility to limit the "check same IP adress", in some enviroments is a too risky option, you know how are customers...

Keep the good work!

To give you some examples:
-People in China who live in a big many-family-one-house
-Students at university
-People at work
-Internet cafés
-Hostels, dormitories.
As you see it's not so hard to find you people that match the same IP while registering and in that precise moment, and maybe just one of them is a spammer, not everybody is so luck to have a private internet connection at home.
