The country list is in:-

include/select_countries_list.asp

The length of the signature line is kept in a number of places. You will need to edit the file register.asp to increase the size read in from the form and in the javascript validation.

You may also need to increase the field size in the database as I do not remember if I set it as a memo field or to only hold 200 characters.

Editing the countries file should be fine, but make a backup first in case things don't go to plan.

The built in Guest account can not be deleted, doing so will messup the working of your forum.

But if you edit the database by hand you can change the username of the Guest account to something other than 'Guest'  without it messing up your forum.

in version 7.9 you 'should' beable to rename the guest account thru the Admin Area

by selecting "Change Username" then all you do is enter "Guest" and then enter the french word for guest.... that 'should' work

cant see how it wont
