Just setup forum. Can add users but if I try to create a topic get the error:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'

Type mismatch: 'CInt'

/qmute/mcforum/forum/admin/forum_details.asp, line 158

Any ideas?

Sometimes this error can happen if the forum has become corrupted in the upload process.

Upload the whole forum again.

Also make sure you are running the latest version and try compacting and repairing the database from the admin menu before you start adding forums. This is if you are running the Access version, you didn't say.

Thanks, BoRg, I downloaded the whole lot again and re-uploaded it to the server. It now seems to be working OK.

I'm was having a similar problem as Langar and I'm still working off my local (haven't put it on my web site yet). I got the error Langar reported when I attempted to create a new Forum. What I noted was the error occured when I attempted to create a new Forum under the last Category created. If I created another Category, then I could create a new forum under the first Category okay. Here's what I found in the code:

Forum_Details.asp - line 158 as received in the zip file downloaded today from Web Wiz:

<option value=""<% If intCatID = 0 Then Response.Write(" selected") %>>-- Select Forum Category --</option><%

Line 158 after I corrected the problem:

<option value="<% If intCatID = 0 Then Response.Write(" selected") %>">-- Select Forum Category --</option><%

Notice the double quotes after value=. The second quote should be at the other end of the script, enclosing the returned value.
