Exactly.  I checked your website. its on domaindlx which is free webhost. So disable that and RTE editor. then it should work fine.
Also, disable if there are any uploads or email components you have enabled.

first thanks 4 ur immediate reply

i disabled them as u said - the basic editor works just fine and i can live with it

i didn't disable uploading as i use pure asp upload without components and it works amazingly

the question here is how does the server have any effect on the WYCIWYG editor? I mean I had once a forum on brinkster and the editor worked just fine

anyway thanks one more time - the basic editor is ok although it's a little bit difficult for the members of the forum

Nearly all free web hosts now inject adds into pages this means that the code that is injected messes up the code used in the forum and it also tries to inject the adds into your posts.

Unless you want a very basic web site it looks like the future of running more complex software like forums on free web hosting is comming to an end.

my webhost is: http://www.domaindlx.com - www.domaindlx.com  - my forum version: 7.01

the steps I made r as following:

1. I downloaded http://www.asp101.com/articles/jacob/upload_files_without_com_v2.zip - this file

2. i uploaded those two files: clsField.asp and clsUpload.asp in the functions folder (forum folder)

3. i didn't actually use the other files in the zip in anything

4. i followed the instructions mentionend in the link i gave u (i use Editplus as an editor and I think u should also use an editor that displays the line numbers as any mistake will make it not work)

here r the instructions:

Find these files and edit them like so:

-----------------------------------------------
upload_configure.asp (inside the admin folder)
-----------------------------------------------

On line 264, find this:
Code:

        <option value="AspSimple"<% If strUploadComponent = "AspSimple" Then Response.Write(" selected") %>>AspSimpleUpload</option>


Below that, insert this:
Code:

        <option value="none"<% If strUploadComponent = "none" Then Response.Write(" selected") %>>No Components</option>


-----------------------------------------------
functions_upload.asp (inside the functions folder)
-----------------------------------------------

On line 1, before the <% symbols, create a blank line and insert this:
Code:

<!--#INCLUDE FILE="clsUpload.asp"-->



On line 71, find these lines:
Code:

     'Select which upload component to use
     Select Case strUploadComponent



Below those, insert this:
Code:

           '******************************************
           '*** Pure ASP Upload (no components) ****
           '******************************************

           'Pure ASP (no components)
           Case "none"

                'Create upload object
                Set objUpload = New clsUpload

                With objUpload

                      'Grab the file name
                      strNewFileName = .Fields("file").FilePath

                      'Remove the path from the file name
                      strNewFileName = Right(strNewFileName, Len(strNewFileName)-InStrRev(strNewFileName, "\"))

                      'Replace spaces with underscores
                      strNewFileName = Replace(strNewFileName, " ", "_", 1, -1, 1)

                      'Append the username to avoid duplicate filenames
                      'strNewFileName = strLoggedInUsername & "_" & strNewFileName

                      'Check the file size
                      lngErrorFileSize = fileSize(.Fields("file").Length, intMaxFileSize)

                      'Check the extension
                      blnExtensionOK = fileExtension(strNewFileName, saryFileUploadTypes)

                      'If the file is OK save it to disk
                      If lngErrorFileSize = 0 AND blnExtensionOK = True Then

                           'Save the binary data to a file
                           .Fields("file").SaveAs Server.MapPath(strFileUploadPath) & "\" & strNewFileName

                         &nbs

i didn't actually create upload folder

u know there's an upload folder already - i didn't use that upload2 in the zip file or anything

i did nothing but uploading the clsField.asp and clsUpload.asp in the functions folder (forum folder) and edited the files mentioned above

luckily that my host does't require me to give write permissions as there are already

Thanks 4 ur reply.
If im not wrong, Windows webhosts give read n write permissions by default bcuz CHMOD does NOT work on their servers.
What path did u give 2 upload folder i n admin area ?
