Make sure you are editing the correct file and the file is actually uploading to the server. Your modifications have obviously not taken effect.

[mavtheleet]

well the instructions said upload it to your corresponding board folder...so I upload the edited file to my forums directory not coppermine.


fixed.

It should be uploaded to where it was to begin with - the bridge directory. Please show where it says to upload into your board folder so the instructions can be corrected.

(the file in the "bridge" folder that corresponds to your bbs and the file include/init.inc.php

You aren't using 1.3.2 or 1.3.3.  The directions say

Go to the bridge directory and open the file that corresponds to the bulletin board you use (eg. phpbb.inc.php if you use phpBB) with a text editor.

Modify them according to the configuration of your board and save the file.

1.3.0 and 1.3.1 have slightly different instructions, but still don't say anything about moving files.  However, your quote doesn't say anything about moving files around.
