In the guestbook folder is a folder called misc. In that folder is a file called either db_update or update_db and you need to visit it in your web browser. It's either that or there is something new in the config.inc.php file of the newer version so you will need to copy your information from the old one to the new one.

not sure if you have to visit misc/db_update.php or whatever the file is called.

2 - Should be able to put your old header and footer files in the templates folder.

Back up existing files.
Download latest version.
Extract latest version.
Delete config.inc.php from latest version.
Upload new files to replace old files.

Wonder how much crap you have to install to make the useragent go over 100 characters though

Once in phpMyAdmin find the book_data table. Change the browser field so that it is 200 instead of the 100 it currently is.

Do you have phpMyAdmin (usually in cPanel) and if so do you know how to use it?

Back up your existing files.
Download new guestbook and extract the files.
Delete the config.inc.php from the NEW guestbook files.
Upload the new guestbook files to replace the old ones.

I'm not suggesting you do switch to Lazarus (even though it's pretty much identical to AG being that is is AG but rewritten) I was just indicating I had added it already for those that do not want to modify their AG.

1 - Spamwords is dealt by the bad words list in admin
2 - If you mean the ability to make new posts require moderating then this is something I added to Lazarus which is a fork of Advanced Guestbook.

I may be wrong about the captcha being case insensitive I just know that most I come across are.

No I suggested putting in a file called addentry.php but just with a simple message in it saying touch titties or words to that effect.

Did you remove the addentry.php file ?

You can always leave a fake addentry.php file containing a message but odds are it's a bot and not a real person spamming you.

1 - CAPTCHA should not be case sensitive
2 - They just Google for phrases they know are found in the guestbook such as "Advanced Guestbook 2.4.3"

You could rename the addentry.php file and then edit config.inc.php to reflect those changes or you could have a look at Lazarus although the former is probably easier option.

This is where it's going to get confusing. It is saying output started at line 7 of comment.php and that is

require_once $include_path."/lib/vars.class.php";

Which means we have to look at that file. Whats the address of your guestbook as I might be able to figure it out quicker.
