Have fun  

I realize it is unlikely, but any way to resurrect and save previous guest book entries for a board old enough to have Carsten's 1.x guestbook mod?

I can still provide an old guestbook file to see the content if it could help. (I had been hoping to see the guestbook feature come back for years!)

Brian, don't know what you mean exactly. A general problem with the tabs or in connection with the guest book?

General problem I've had for a little while now...

Is it completly ? 20 entries ?

But ok, there is Date, Name and message right? I will take a look ....

Oh ... so it's a forum guestbook, rather than a member guestbook?

Sorry, guess I completely misunderstood, then! Sorry about that!

(I gotta remember, I'm not as young as I used to be ... I start doing all-nighters, and my brain starts to suffer for it!)

Hi.

Don't know, maybe if you use yabb 2.3.1. But comming shortly the guestbook version 0.2 with some changes. I think you can tried this before we take a look why the bb-code is doesn't working bei onclick.

Don't worry, we will fix that.  

(Btw. Also the smilies don't work)

That worked! Amazing, thanks!

Had to use the
sub SignGuestBook {
as well.

Works great! Another great addition
