I have a problem with the Lock function. If the Forum is locked i can't Access the admin.asp-file to unlock it.

Thanks Adrina, this is an issue I will have to find a fix to.

For the moment you will need to change it directly in the database in the table 'tblConfiguration', the field 'Forums_closed'

You may also need to un-load the application for your site to force the data to reload into the servers memory.

I've not had time to test this yet, but a quick fix for this issue is to place the following in the top of the admin.asp file:-

blnClosedForumPage = True

Place before the file common.asp is included.

BORG your fix above did not work for me, I place it in the admin.asp file like...

<% @ Language=VBScript %>
blnClosedForumPage = True


<%

Was that correct

FYI the forum closed itself during setup.

Thats worng it needs to be within an ASP block:-

<% @ Language=VBScript %>
<%
blnClosedForumPage = True
%>

Oops you were right that sort of worked, but it does not show the CAPTCHA image now.

You need to add the same to the top of the CAPTCHA_image.asp file

It worked....

You are a genius, how you find the time to do all of this I do not know.

Thanks again
