Thank you Auggy for the help

thanks for the advise and for coming to the chat the other night. I
am still on a huge learning curve. i though i had messed it up bad
last night after the chat. i worked on my new site and uploaded a
page to see what it looked like. i hadn't made any changes in mywebs
folder of the Plus file and then when i tried to log back in to chat
I couldn't. though i had overwritten the file on the host and lost
everything. but turned out i just had the wrong link. anyway thanks
again.
Robert

My daughter has CP and through contacts at therapy and elsewhere we
have found a lot of people haven't a clue as to where to get
services or they just have things they want to share or gripe about.
A friend who also has a child with severe CP has formed a family
support group with about 15 parents attending. I was hoping to get a
website up with Chat and a BBS service so that questions could be
answered and they would have a place to talk and or bitch about the
way things are.

I wound up just entering 777 at the top front of the pages. I got
an error when attempting step 7 in the install documentation. I read
all the FAQ's and searched sourceforge.net, went to
http://plus.gamedogs.com/ the site of the person who wrote this and
now am here on yahoo groups. I still haven't found an answer.

This seemed wrong at least on the html pages as 777 appeared in the
window.
