Yes. It fix again!! 2 questions now.....

Question1:
I would like to change the following wording into Chinese, is it possible?
In search.aspx, : "sorry, but your query..... returned no result"
In ThreadView.aspx: "Edit Your Post" button and "Subscribe to this thread".

That is due to the global.asax file and the url-rewriting. Make sure the global.asax file is in the root of your website.

bwise Wrote:We don't use master pages because they currently don't support full headers, which will hurt your website in search engine rankings. But if you want to use them you can, just make sure you include the link to the codebehind files. It's the first line in each aspx file, which looks something like this:
<%@ Page language="VB" Inherits="dotForumClientUsers.viewAllUsers" %>

Yes! It works!!! Thanks so much!!!

Another question:
My web application is used MasterPage at each page. I then delete the header: clientHeader.inc.asp and footer: clientFooter.inc.asp included in each page. But such action affect data display, e.g. userlist.aspx display only the layout without data.

Anything I got wrong?

Change the data type in the database. In the database table forumCategories, change ctTitle from varchar to nvarchar, and change ctDesc from text to ntext. This will allow unicode characters in the database table.

The DB connection has been solved. Thanks.

I am now testing the Forum. Because it run in Chinese, so Chinese character display is very important part. I have changed the config of web.config as follows, it works in almost all of pages, except of categoryAdd.aspx and categoryEdit.aspx. I can't input/ edit data as Chinese character. Could you suggest solution?

<globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" culture="en-US" uiCulture="en-US" />

That will not work. Please use the connection string example in the web.config file that comes with the forum, more like this:
Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=itcnForum;User Id=USERNAME;Password=PASSWORD

I have just bought this Forum. I follow the installation instruction from you, but I face problem in setting up my Database. My current web application contains its Database connection string:

<add name="EcarConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\EcarDB.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>

I try to use the same way to config ITCNForum, but I obtain the following error: System.InvalidOperationException: The 'System.Data.SqlClient' provider is not registered on the local machine

Could you give me suggestion on this case? THanks .
