Yes but simple is good. I found out about Phorum as it is used by http://pspad.com. It is apparently easy to integrate.

http://phorum.org/ seems to be a small forum. I personally use phpBB the same as this forum.

Not at present. I'm sure I could throw something together if it's that important. You may consider installing a forum as well though lol.

If you look in the thread that is titled read this before posting any advanced guestbook questions you will find a link to the relevant topic.

You would have to delete them one at a time via the admin panel or go into phpMyAdmin. Why would you want to though?

Something I keep meaning to look into.

templates/body.php look for

On a different matter black text on a black background doesn't really work. Also there is no point in obscuring the text version of the email addresses by using [at] and [dot] and then leaving the mailto links intact. I wrote a guide on modifying the guestbook to completely obscure the email addresses and it can be found at www.carbonize.co.uk/AG or search through the READ THIS BEFORE POSTING ADVANCED GUESTBOOK QUESTIONS thread near the top of this forum for the link to the forum thread about it.

Yes, goto bed. But apart from that try specifying the size in the table CSS or add .font1 and .font2 to your CSS

Ok you could put the bottom part of you menu in to body.php and form.php and just have the link changed on each. Body being the "Sign the Guestbook" link and form.php having the "Return to Guestbook" link.

Whilst you are in form.php you could do with removing

hmmmmmmmmmmmm possibly by moving the menu code from the header file to the body.php file. Would need to look more into it. Oh and you need to put the javascript back in the head section as it is responsible for the thumbnails being links that open the full size image ina new window.
Also when I went to your main site the link at the bottom is for http://www.adinsdale.com/ which I assume is your old domain but it must of expired as it no longer works.

You want what with them? Check in the laguage file if you want to change them lang/english.php or whatever your language is.

See, a perfect example of seek and ye shall find

Sorry if you went to any trouble...

No because being the sad person I am with no life I know most of the guestbook code inside and out

I have been updating the Advanced Guestbook 2.3.1 code to bring it upto date and fix some exploits and compatiability issues with PHP5 and Apache 2.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Changelog:
Changed GET, POST, SERVER, COOKIE and FILE variables from old style to new style (ie changed $HTTP_GET_VARS to $_GET).

Added simple anti spam method

Patched useragent exploit (others patched by original coder)

Addentry form now only displays smileys if you have them turned on. Also it now only shows smileys on the add entry page that are in your list.

Changed some text in the admin area to make it easier to understand.

Rearranged the config.inc.php file to put main options at the top.

Rewrote the installer as I didn't like the last one.

Changed the $session variable as it is apparently reserved by Apache2.

--------------------------------------------------------------

It will be available for beta testing soon. Volunteers always welcome. Oh and just to add that Advanced Guestbook 2.3.2 is only it's name in testing. I am not going to call it that as it then sounds like an official update from the maker rather than by a third party such as myself. Final name will be something like Advanced Guestbook 2.3.1 Carbonized, or possibly not. Suggestions welcome.

Just to make it clear. This beta does not add any new features to 2.3.1 apart from the simple anti spam method and the dynamic smiley displaying. I may possible add the Yahoo/MSN fields as well as the third gender option to the final release but I may leave that for the next update once I know this one works fine.

In MySQl if you specify that a field is to be an INT and auto incrementing then even if you delelte a number it will carry on from where it was and not from the current highest number. Even though you delete posts 1, 2 and 3 they cannot be remade.

By editing the file form.php in the templates directory. Did you even look at the file after I posted it above?
