Hi to all, After searching for quite a long time for adequate forum application (and after many questions about forum form on my site) I have decided to go with Web Wiz. I had some difficulties in setting it, since I already had a membership database with various pages with restrict access but after some work up (to be precise I changed a lot of my older code on the site to use the new one) I uploaded the whole thing to server yesterday. After getting used to admin section ( I have read that the new version 8 will bring some improvements in this regard and that’s great since I must confess that I was little confused with some sections) now it's running fine. I used my old users
data, including usernames and emails, but I forced old users to reactivate
their accounts trough "password recovery" process.
…. Format
process … End If Thanks you in
advance p.s. website in question is http://www.dyxum.com/ - www.dyxum.com and the forum is located at http://www.dyxum.com/dforum/ - www.dyxum.com/dforum/ in case anyone interested. |

when the users where added to the new system did you put the username
and email addresses through the filter files to make them the same as
the forum system ie so userames etc are changed to work correctly with the forum security systems |

Well, I'm not sure if I understood you correctly but I copy pasted the data from the old to the new access database. So i presume I didn't do it in the way you have asked. Any suggestion on how to minimize those errors? Can I modify functions_filters.asp as stated before and will that do the trick? Thanks for help. |

These types of errors are usually coursed if there is no data to process. You could always try checking if there is data first using something along the lines of:- If NOT null(variableName) Then ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Thanks !! You guys are great. I will add this check to functions_filters.asp file. I wanted to be sure that is safe to do so without causing additional problems. |

you wiull have ot add it in other places not the function filters setcion, as this is what is calling the problem. i believe. you will need to do the check around the lines that are coursing the errors within the actual files. please note im not to sure on this but think its right. |

Thanks dj air for your suggestion. I'm trying to figure out what is exactlly causing the problem (is on the register.asp file); what field (or fields) but unfortunattely I can't reproduce this problem myself, but i'm getting server error messages (trough small email notification aplication). Thanks again. |

That would be too easy :):) I will try to remove one formating at a time, in effort to discover the problematic field. Most users do not experience this problems, but some other do. Once all old users wil reactivacte their account i hope this error will not show up again. Thanks |

Did you turn off friendly error messages in IE? That should give you the line number.

Thank you for the post. I wasn't clear apparentlly and I apologize for that. I have coded a small aplications to notify me about server errors. I know the lines that is causing the error and those are in filter_function.asp file. However, that file is "hosted" by common.asp that is hosted by most forum pages so, i can't find the line in resistration.asp file that is causing invalid call for format funcrion; only the line inside filter_functon.asp file). I have done some if not null checks (inside filter_function.asp) and it seems to work now. I will remove this additional check as soon most old users reactivate thir account. Thanks |
