Hi all. Sorry for my bad english! Cry
As a lot of italian webmasters, I have a little problem to use upload functions of your software (avatar and images in the forum) in my hosting space (Windows Server 2003).
My hosting plan on http://www.aruba.it - www.aruba.it has the upload features disabled, means that we can't install thirdy parts DLL and our "hoster" doesn't have one installed ready to use in our hosting plans like many others.
We can only use a FormUpload made by Aruba webmasters and we can only upload in a folder named "public", that is the only one with "write" permissions (we can create subfolder under, I can test if you need!).
The FORMUPLOAD module, consists in three webpages:
1) HTML module
2) ASP processing file
3) ASP funcions file
and all three files must be placed in "public" folder.
 
So, if we would like to upload anything on website, we must install those files in "public" folder and use them via browser to upload a file (ie: http://www.mydomain.com/public/form_upload_01.htm - www.mydomain.com/public/form_upload_01.htm  ).
 
The ask is:
is possible for you to modify the upload features in this nice and cool forum application so that we can use the Aruba procedure?
 
I tryed, but I'v got a few problems because I don't know Web Wiz Forums functions in depth. So I think that developers that writed the forum code, can help us in very fast mode than me!
This is also the problem that other users have here in your forum (searching ARUBA on this forum).
So, the Aruba code for your information:

Aruba are a bad web host, if you want to use Web Wiz Forums you would need to change web host as they don't allow you to run Web Wiz Forums (and most other ASP applications) on their servers.

They overload their servers with to many sites so they only really allow you to run static web pages on their servers.

Right, I'll just arrive next expiration to change provider. Next year my account expires and I change provider. But for now, I would like to run this forum.
 
 
10x a lot for your answer!

Have a look at their Terms they actually list Web Wiz Forums and almost every other forum going and will close your account without warning if they catch you running them on their servers.
