hi first of all i want to thank for this brilliant service, i decided to put up an online gaming clan forum that i am in and registered:

just as i was trying to build the forums up i realized that when you click "user control panel" link, you get this error message:

General Error
template->_tpl_load_file(): File ./styles/Dark-Shines/template/ucp_digests.html does not exist or is empty

i decided to fall back to the default prosilver theme as i guessed this could have been an isuue about the Dark Shines theme. Pro silver theme solved that problem but on the "Overview" tab, below "basics", if you click on "Forums selection" you get this error message:

General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]

Table 'freefor_net.bss_free_forum_net_digests_subscribed_forums' doesn't exist [1146]

SQL

SELECT forum_id FROM bss_free_forum_net_digests_subscribed_forums WHERE user_id = 2

i would like to know what these errors stem from and how to solve them if its something to do with me, if there is anything you could do please solve the first issue because i am plannig to use Dark shines theme not prosilver, i have tried other custom themes like TwilightBB and got the same error as in Dark Shines

Hello !

Thank you for information.
This is happening because last week i have tried to install a mod . Digest mod (some users requested me this mod and it is very useful), and i had some problems adapting this mod for our forums and this problems have only new created forums. I will try to solve this issue in the next days. Usually if you do not click on that menu you will not see that error.
Thank you !

thanks for the reply, i eventually found a way to "get around" those issues, so if anyone has the same issues:
go to System tab on ACP,
Under the Module Management section, click User Control Panel,
Click on the Overview its contents will show up,
Disable those items that gives you an error message (in my situation i disabled,Basics,forum selection, Post filthers and Additional Criteria)
then click the green gear(edit) for "Front Page" we will edit the Front page item so that it will link to the overview page,
on the edit page make sure your configuration is like:
Parent > Overwiew
Choose Module > Overview [ucp_main]
Choose Module Mode > Front page

i realized that i had issues if i set the "choose module" to digests [ucp_digests] so i linked it to Overview

now everything is under control

Hello !

I solved the problem.
Now you (and every user) have in your ACP a new tab named "Digests" . And admins have the configuration options for this mod on ACP->General for forums created before today, and on ACP->Posting for forums that will register from now.

Please try this new mod and tell us your opinion. Sorry for that errors, but it was a complicated mod and took several days to install and modify to work with our forums.

Thank you !

thanks for the fix
well i am not planning to encourage the users to use digests for now as mine is a clan forum where i want the users to actively visit the forum and participate, and there are no users except me at this time but it will grow as soon as i finish building the forum, i guess
my suggestion would be being able to edit the imagesets thats because:
i would like to use custom "forum read" "forum unread" and "forum locked" pictures, i understand that admins uploading pics would require extra space so i would like to suggest letting us link to a remote picture, like the one in logo management in ACP, i can link to a remote logo pic but can not link to another one to be used in the imagesets.
