Hi,
I've got some problems with running eggdrop. It fails with the error:
[17:54] Tcl error in file 'eggdrop.conf':
[17:54] invalid command name "chanmode"
while executing
"chanmode "+nt-likm""
(file "eggdrop.conf" line 66)
Commenting the chanmode line causes the same problem but with the next line.
Does anyone have a solution? (i'm using an edited simple config)

On another note you're using phpBB version 1.4.4, version 2.0.1 has been released and is one million times better than this version and offers a direct upgrade so you won't lose all your members/posts. phpbb.com to download.

This actualy sound like there is a mistype on the line before in the config file.

Allthough this error would occur in the situation as mentioned, the fact remains, that the command doesn't even exist, with or without this module.

Look in both the example config file and your own config file, for the lines that are at issue. On the line before the one at issue, you may note that you are missing a {, that exists in the example config file, but not your own.

Try pasting 5 lines before and after the one at issue, if you have any problems rectifying this.

You were right. I didn't put a space between the #channelname and the {.
Thanks for the help (and you know phpBB 2.0.1 is still good :wink:)

Version 2 of the forum is too over-powering.

It increases demands on systems, and takes a hell of a long time ti display for modem users (compared to the 1.4 version).

I am yet to see a site that makes use of all the features offered in version 2, or rather, a site that used the features for the right reasons.

Unless there is a need for any of these features, I don't think the system should be upgraded. As it is, there is no reason, as all the forum requires is the ability to send a question/comment, and get a reply. No votes, or fancy graphics needed here.

If the version 2 development is anything like version 1, then it will be full of bugs, and it will take forever to get a patch. Up to version 1.4.2, it was possible to lock, delete, move and anything else that can be done to a post by an admin, by any user. Since then, only 1 version has been released (I beleive version 1.4.3 was missed out) since, and it was to address this issue, and another issue, that had not been fully fixed.
