Pretty standard looking. I even recognize the format: netfirms. =)
  

I'm not sure if it's ignorance or apathy, but I don't know and I don't care.

As you can see, I'm a bloody novice.  PLEASE help me with Netfirms someone? I've tried everything to figure out the direct path for my avatars. Nothing has worked YET. Also some of my smilies aren't showing all the way and some of the gifs aren't showing, just red x's. Other things seem to be working fine. Can someone please help me? here is the url
http://crohns-sanity.netfirms.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi

okay, go to http://crohns-sanity.netfirms.com/cgi/printenv and check the DOCUMENT_ROOT setting. That's the path until the point you get to when you FTP to your server.
  

Code
Select All
unless(0) { stab("LoonyPandora"); next; }

Thank you. Ok, I got this /mnt/web_a/d30/s29/a000h86w HTTP_ACCEPT=*/*
Can you please tell me how to type that into my settings.pl so it will take me to my avatars?
I'm so sorry, I know it's probably a dumb question, but I have NEVER worked with something like this before.
Thanks!!!
edited for this: I seen an ealier post so I put this
$facesdir = "/mnt/web_a/d30/s29/a000h86w/www/public_html/YabbImages/avatars";    and I tried this one
"/mnt/web_a/d30/s29/a000h86w/www/public_html/YabbImages/avatars";   

It's not working either.

Two things:

A) Capitalize the B's in YaBBImages.

B) If your YaBBImages folder isn't in your top level directory (ie, same directory as your homepage), you will need to put the directories that it into the path, too. So if you have a folder named yabbstuff in your top level directory, and inside yabbstuff you have YaBBImages, you need:

/mnt/web_a/d30/s29/a000h86w/www/public_html/yabbstuff/YabbImages/avatars

Check on those two things.

Ok here is what I have
$facesdir = "/mnt/web_a/d30/s29/a000h86w/public_html/YaBBImages/avatars";                               # The server path to your avatars (userpics) folder
$facesurl = "http://crohns-sanity.netfirms.com/public_html/YaBBImages/avatars";               # URL to your avatars folder
$imagesdir = "http://crohns-sanity.netfirms.com/public_html/YaBBImages";                      # URL to your images folder
It's still not working. Can you tell from this what I have done wrong?
I had to put the public_html folder in a www spot on netfirms, but I tried adding www and it won't work either.
so it's only public_html/YaBBImages/avatars

You shouldnt need public_html within your URL. Why dont you IM me your board URL, a temporary admin login/password, and your FTP host, username, and password. and I'll just fix it for you.

Ok, I am hosted at 1dollarhosting.com (for reference).  My path is http://www.gamers-net.net/YaBBImages/avatars, but it doesn't work.  I tried using /a/home/gamers-net.net/YaBBImages/avatars as the absolute path but it still doesn't work.  The error i get (for reference) is "Can't open directory (/a/home/gamers-net.net/YaBBImages/avatars)!
Please inform the administrator of this forum to fix the $facesdir setting immediately."
I would greatly appreciate it if you could help me out this.  Thanks!

Ok, I've read about how paths work and I understand everything about it.

However, when you start BroadMod v.2.52, it asks for a path. When I browse to find the files, it defaults to look for YaBB.pl or YaBB.cgi. I have looked through my entire website to find either file and can not find anything even close.

I am using YaBB SE 1.5.1 for my message board. I'm trying to use BoardMod to install the Map Mod.

Please advise on where I might find the files YaBB.pl or YaBB.cgi.
