I installed the forums yesterday afternoon and everything seemed to display normally. (Keep in mind I'm on the Brinkster edcuational (free) package.) When I first went to log in, it gave me a 500 error, but because of the computer I was on (and its security restrictions as it was a borrowed laptop), I was unable to turn off the friendly server errors in IE to see where/what the error was. I decided I'd have to wait until later that evening to fix it when I could get on my brothers computer where I have such control over IE's settings. Well, just for grins, I got onto the net and the forum I just instaled, and rather than giving me a 500 error when I attempted to log in, I'm getting:

 

"Sorry, only members with sufficient permission can access this page.

A security error has occurred with authentication.

I reuploaded the forum database--no change. I reuploaded both common.asp files--no change.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,
