Okay, props to all who have been working so hard to make this thing work.
Here's my $0.05:
1. The 3.0 zipfile in the database contains several files that look like they are binary. (i.e. newline replaced with little black square) This doesn't cause a functional problem, but it is gonna be a pain when debugging, customizing, etc. I haven't bothered to write a program to fix it, but guess I will if zip isn't fixed.
2. Was getting white screen at first after following directions to a T, but after reading dozens of pages in this thread, yes...it was just needing the UBB Code Buttons perl file installed to work. (Note to those who may not realize this: You may not have to actually add the full Code Buttons Hack, but it is gonna look ugly as hell if you don't, or require further hacking to remove UBB Code references)
3. There may be a cookie problem. I can't really say because I'm not sure how smart the code is supposed to be, but here is what I see: I'm trying to test the hack. So I have two IDs, of course, my main user ID and an alternate ID. I get two browser windows, one dedicated to each ID. I erase cookie information in Preferences to make sure everything starts clean. Then I login each seperate ID in it's own browser. (One note, I don't have to type in the password...it works without it...this seems to indicate something isn't working right already.) Anyway, everything seems to work okay viewing and sending messages, but if I hit Receive Messages in the alternate ID window while looking at inbox messages, it suddenly displays the inbox messages for my main ID. So, either there is some cookie problem, or it is simply impossible for a person to test this using only one computer. Tell me, is this a cookie problem or just the way it is supposed to work??
4. Would be nice to lose the "Hop To" bar, but I can do that myself.
5. I'm not concerned about this particular feature, but the Outbox doesn't seem to work. (i.e. Is always empty)
Thanks. Hope someone can answer my cookie question...
I use my main user ID and send a message to my alternate ID. Then in another browser, I clear cookies in preferences, then login to private messages using the alternate ID. I see the message that was sent and click on the message to read it. Then I click on the reply button, which brings up the compose private message screen, everything looks good. Type in a quick reply and hit the Send button, get Internal Server Error page.
