Which mod did you install first?

[Gunpoint]

I installed Are you a human mod and Anti bot registration puzzles, then i mistakenly deleted the Are you a human mod, which is now blocking people to register on my site

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Download the 1.1.13 install package, and upload the template and source files to your forum.  Try to uninstall all mods first.

[Gunpoint]

Thats one of my problems, am not good at that, when i tried to edit the theme it didnt work, i didnt really learn how to edit the template, so i am lost here,

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Do you have ftp access to your host account?

[Gunpoint]

yes, if what you mean is the cpanel

[Sir Osis of Liver]

You have to be able to upload files to your forum, which you should be able to do with cpanel.  Download the 1.1.13 install package, unzip it, and upload the /Themes/default/ and /Sources/ files to the same directories on your forum.

Am trying now, am not really good at this i would tell you how its all goes on

[Gunpoint]

I download it, but i dont know where the /Themes/default/ and /Sources/  are in this forum,i dont have any knowledge of this

[tinoest]

I would have a look in /var/www/ or /var/www/html if its a linux install.

You need to extract the contents of smf to those directories mentioned and overwrite the old files.

[Gunpoint]

wow thats a big problem, i use windows 7 home edition, i didnt install the smf myself, i only wanted to add mods to customize the site now, i dont know how to do this

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Can't help you much with cpanel - never used it.  If you can find ftp info, or request it from your host, I'll upload the files for you.  Need ftp host, username, password.  If you can get that, pm to me.

[Gunpoint]

do you mean the cpanel or the forum, whichever please reply

[Sir Osis of Liver]

  Can you give me access to your cpanel?

[Gunpoint]

if that would set this correctly, but i thought the problem would be from the forum itself, i havent touched the cpanel

[Sir Osis of Liver]

- You have broken your forum by deleting the anti-spam mod without uninstalling it.

- To fix it, you have to replace the damaged files on the forum with clean files from the SMF install package.

- This requires downloading the install package from the SMF link I posted above to your computer, unzipping the .zip file, and uploading the template and source files to your server to replace the bad files.

- You can upload the files from your computer to the server with cpanel or an ftp client.

- I can do it for you if you can give me access to your cpanel or ftp access to your account.
