ok new problem, admin...

[Spidy]

when i click on the 'admin' tab it says

An Error Has Occurred!
Unable to load the 'Admin' template. 

how can i rectify this n how can i make other people admin or moderators?

Re-upload /Themes/default/Admin.template.php and it should work again.

Admins: user's profile -> Account related settings -> Primary Membergroup -> Administrator
Moderators: Admin -> Boards and Categories -> Edit board -> Moderators

Make sure when you upload it that it is being uploaded in binary mode.

Corruptions can occur when uploading files in ASCII mode. 

If your FTP client doesn't supporty binary mode, try SmartFTP

I suggest reuploading the entire package and reinstalling it if this is the case, since the Admin Template may not be the only file corrupted.

good luck!

Thanks and you're very welcome.  I actually had this same problem when I first installed SMF... *tear* ah... the n00b days.

I actually listen to quite a variety of music, i'm just into rock/metal the most
