problem with php

[artfuldodger]

i need some advice please,a member from the vodahost community was helping adding mods to my board,the birthday hack was installed, it works fine but at the bottom of my index page where you see who is online there seems to be somepart of the template design missing a big chunk seems to have gone it's all black?,the member who installed the birthday hack has stopped replying to my emails not sure if he's moved home (he done a great job adding the birthday mod) but my members keep asking what that black box is doing there!,so i need help to find out what is wrong,my url is www.northlondonriderz.co.uk it looks strange having just a black box with nothing in it!. if you press the forum index you will see

Get in touch with our resident Forum Guru, AliensAnonymous via Angie's Cyberscripts (look for the Contact Us page top-right of center box after intro).....extremely helpful to his peers.

Just remember to feed him a juicy spammer when he's done!

other problems have been sorted,one still remains,i have set registration accounts to admin to activate,when i do get the email to activate the member account i find that the account is already active,i have checked and double checked to make sure the setting are checked to admin not user,i find this rather off putting what could be the problem?

The problem is caused by modification of the registration files if you have added any mods that involve the registration or guest posting you should back track the install files.

also a bit of a warning the mods for phpBB2 on phpbbhacks.com and phpbb.com were written with versions 19, 20,and 21 in mind, they are now on 22 and that will be the last. and because the people that made these mods new about the forth coming release of phpbb3 have not really developed the mods or fixed or upgraded their mods. hence some mods don't work on later versions of phpbb2, as form yesterday phpBB3 was released so even support for the phpbb2 will now become less and less.

I strongly advise not to add anymore mods to your phpbb2 forum.
