Marcus's Support Thread...

To install that mod manually take a look at this: Manual Installation of Mods
But if you don't have FTP access or another way of editing files, you can't install it.
Do you use something like smfforfree (or other free SMF hosting)?

[Marcus72687]

I use www.SmfHost.com

[Harro]

Took a quick look at that site and it seems you can't do it.
So if you want to install any mods, theme or want to have more control over your forum I suggest that you pay for a host.
Take a look in the Hosts and Hosting board.

How can I turn off my IP in my forum,to stop guest and members from seeing it?

[Smith6612]

Guests and members can't see your IP. Only you can. Also, you can't turn off your IP

[babjusi]

Only the administrator sees the ip by default.

[Marcus72687]

Both of you are correct...

I tried viewing on my forum as a guest looking for Ips but they want show.

But the administrator does.

[greyknight17]

So you still want it to be hidden? Take a look here.

[Marcus72687]

What do I have to do to get a new theme to show up that I have install?

[greyknight17]

Go to Admin->Themes and Layout and under Overall forum default:, select your theme and hit Save when ready.

[Marcus72687]

I'm trying to install a new theme for the background...

[greyknight17]

Not sure I understand your question. Do you want to use the same theme but maybe just change the color? If so, you need to edit the style.css file located in your Themes/<your theme> folder.

SMF Version: SMF 1.1.1
Am running on SMF 1.1.1. with 30 members including myself it makes 31.

And I can't log into the website fast enough and sometimes get knocked out the website and have to keep trying to get back on the website,but other websites like this one goes fast.

And I wen't to the maintence section to try to fix problems but still goes slow.

So could anyone tell me what can I do to get the website speed going fast?

The website is  oneunderground.smfhost.com you can test the speed out yourself to.So let me know something quick as possible.

Looks to me like your paths aren't right.

Can your download and run repair_settings.php and see if that fixes it.

What is repair_settings.php?

[Marcus72687]

I won't be able to upload it,because my FTP is disabled.

Is it another way I can get it onto the site,or should I just run it and it will automaticaly fix errors on the forum,without me uploading it.

[tumbleweed]

Load up the status.php and post your findings:

you can find it here:
http://www.simplemachines.org/download/?tools

[tumbleweed]

in that case your site is very slow in responding to me.

Always timing out. When i saw it you are running just a stock SMF. So i am just guessing it is a server issue.

[Marcus72687]

What do I do, I press open and I got a status Notepad?

[tumbleweed]

i tryed to go to your host site located at http://www.smfhost.com

There site is very slow loading as well (Also times out). And if that host above is your host. It is a server issue and there is nothing you can do about it.

Please correct me if iam wrong in to concern with your host's name and url.

[Marcus72687]

You're correct.

And I've been going their too and they are slow.

So anybody that's with them  their site should be slow to then.

And when is the speed going to approve then?
