Here's some links to start with (using a search at their site to get more info is a good idea too!): http://www.phpbb.com/support/documentation/3.0/?from=submenu http://www.phpbb.com/kb/?from=submenu http://www.phpbb.com/support/tutorials/3.0/?from=submenu etc..etc! I would also revert again to a clean board (you did make backups of database(s) and forum this time I hope!) It's quite hard to know where to start unless you know exactly where automod spitted ALL the errors and "cannot's" I can help you creating a homelink ..no problem ... but you can not expect anyone to manage all those mods for you, you really need to learn to do it yourself I advice you to stop using auto mod and learn to walk through the modx files manually (if you do this step by step and exactly how it's written ...well .. then it should not be toooo hard. Never install a bunch of mods at the rate you do, install one and start checking/testing it... otherwise I assure you you will get lost in all bugs errors and not know what is causing it! If a mod does not work or gave problems ...what's the point installing another and even more then one? If a mod does not install correct you need to be able to revert before trying another mod :wink: Well I 'll stop preaching here and await a reply from you, keep in mind ..YOU are the webmaster, so YOU need to learn how to handle it (incase you don't want to start hiring someone to do it all for you, wich I expect is the case here :wink: ) Greetings, ...Joshua203 ____________ PS.. I did not mean to scare you off but keep in mind ..No matter what software you are going to use to have a forum, you will always need to be able to handle it ...even if it 's only keeping it up to date :mryellow: PS 2 ...Please put a link in your profile to your website ..it makes it easy to view what we are talking about or checking errors :wink:[/quote] Ok I followed your advice Forum backup ..Done! download file editor...Done! read items in links above ....Done! put website url in profile ..Done! now i tried to uninstall the mods I installed but ran into a lot of errors a lot of finds and inline finds not found by mod,had a go at putting missing lines in files that they were missing from using file editor and then tried uninstalling again ...nothing new! I just want to get rid of mods then install them fresh and have them work, I know I " a lot stronger word for messed up" but I'm trying my best to resolve the problems when it says mod cant find whatever line where do i enter the missing line in the document using the file editor ?? anyone know ? how do you install a mod without auto mod ,cant seem to find any install instructions in the zip files (none that make sense anyway) I dont mind doing the work to make the mods work but I need a rung to start up the ladder from no matter what I do it does nothing,does not even look like anythings changed, I could understand if the mod partially worked and I had to change a few things to fix it but it says it's installed but I see no evidence. sorry to be a lost cause I dont mean to be I just sit here messing around blindly getting (in my view ) no where fast. any help with these questions would be appreciated Regards Pred :wallb: :wallb: :? :?
