Enjoy!  

Your Paths.pl file is just a black file, as it comes with the origional YaBB package. I dont see why it would have reverted this file back to its origional state.

Did you back up your Paths.pl?

While you had the Mod installed, Was there any other error message?

Was the error 500 message displayed while trying to view a custom page or all the time?

When you uploaded YaBB.pl, did you upload in ASCII? Was it chmod 755?

Answer these questiosn for me so I can fix the problem,

Thanks James

Thanks for your suggestions, I can tell you I have not finished with this mod. The next version will have a menu for the pages, display last user to view the page, and like you said member access.
