Can you please help me? I like your mod very very much!

No problems here on my test board. I was going to ask about the character count for the text box limit but I found that's already there, excellent stuff, thanks!

Looks like there where some minor changes in SP1.3-compatible YaMS version. I've fixed it now, just redownload and try once more.

did you upload the modified SubList.pl?

same question for you: did you upload your modified SubList.pl?

Odd, it can't be much more than a problem with your SubList.pl because the admin code of this mod is highly independend from the rest of the yabb sources.

Can you access the Exended Profiles admin panel when accessing your board like this: http://www.yourboard.com/YaBB.pl?action=ext_admin ?

thanx man, that's what I was missing


hmmm... ok so it's up, but now when I add a field it doesn't show up, is there anything else I'm missing, I did everything according to the instructions in this thread, and I don't think it should take too long, 'cuz I don't have any users yet
