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.

thanks borg.... I get it depend on the number I gave for the field in access... max is 255 I think
so if I change the country to put them in french it wont bother anything else?
Ah one another thing, where can I change the word "GUEST" (for a visitor/member) for a french word "INVITÉ"?

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
