Upgrade from unklon version

In the Admin Area, at the bottom of the links on the left is "check for updates". This should tell you what version you are on.

Alternatively look for the file "includes/version_inc.asp" which should contain the version number.

The loop will occur if you have not set write permissions on the Web Wiz Forums 'database' directory in order that the setup wizard can write the database settings to the files within the folder.

Check you have read, write and modify permissions set for the IUSR account on Web Wiz Forums 'database' folder.

Check what user the application pool your forums website is running under in IIS.

If it is not the IUSR account you would need to grant read, write, and modify permissions to the account the application pool is running under.

This is certainly a permissions issue as the problem occurs when the database settings can not be written to the settings files in the 'database' folder.

IE for some reason can sometimes get in a loop and not display an error message, but if using another browser an error message regrading not being able to write to the folder is displayed.

You can set the character encoding for your language from the admin area.

If you wish to translate the text you would need to translate the files in the language_files folder using a text editor.

If you look through the Web Wiz Forums Language Files Forum at the link below you may find that someone has already translated the files
