ok im new to all this
i have been moding the forum nicely, until i tried to install the arcade mod
i copied over all the files and when i went to run the install it error'd straight away something about MEDALS, so i emailed the author but had no reply, but my forum was dead
so i downloaded a new forum from the site and replaced all the files i had replaced with the arcade mod, no it gives me this error
Variable is undefined: 'blnWindowsAuthentication'
it also gave me this error before
any ideas its a new forum and my new members are not gonna be happy not being able to get on, i dont mind loosing all my mods as i can do them again just dont want to loose the membership
thanks

No one is going to help you if you have modified your forum. You need to contact the mod author and make sure you are using a mod that is compatible with the forum version you are using.

I second MadDog's comment; however, if the forum works by only fixing that variable error, then find the file where that variable is used, and add this code to the top:
Dim blnWindowsAuthentication

You should never have to add a Dim statement that is used by WWF. If you do, the mod broke it!
Adding a Dim statement that is already defined by WWF is a very bad idea. If that variable was not defined, you don't know what else is not loaded. If parts of the forum are not loaded, you don't know if your forum is secure.

if a variable is re-defined, would it not error out?

guys i really apreciate your help here, i know i should not have bothered with the arcade it was by site partner who requested it and as i was not 100% with WWF i should have left well alone, all i really want is to get back to square one and leave it alone apart from the banners i added that is
