I also get the above error I am using MYSQL I checked my details over and over but I know I am putting in the right ones, also I must ask do I need to this as the forum has a section to integrate the news pad   Help!

You can’t integrate with mySQL although it appears in the dropdown menu, it has to be a standalone newspad for mySQL users. The whole point of me buying this product was to integrate it with my forum but now it appears this can’t be done. I can’t remember seeing anything stating this would not work when I bought it, I think something like this should be made clear and a discount offered.

Unless there is another way to integrate.

What? Do you think after nearly 6 months of posting this first note, that you should get something for nothing? Looking at the actual download page under System Requirements http://www.webwiz.net/webwiznewspad/kb/requirments.asp it makes it clear enough to me that this software is designed to implement with SQL database, although it can run as an independent software in its own right.

Hopefully, you raised this concern shortly after your original purchase, as I think after 6 months it would be poor show to complain when you claim that they were issues you weren't happy about that far back.

I just held on hoping for some kind of fix for this issue
