When trying to install this mod manually it failed because there was no space between "if(", if you copy and paste and didn't notice the mistake, here is an example:
Code:

	if ($ENV{'HTTP_USER_AGENT'} =~ /(MSIE) (\d)/) {

		if($2 >= 7.0) { $iecopycheck = ""; } else { $iecopycheck = qq~checked="checked"~; }

	}

This happened in a few of the 8 steps where similar code as above was needed.

This mod has been in the Beta Board for quite a while with no bug rapports so far - and working nicely on all my test boards too.

I'm sorry to correct you on this but

if(....)
if (....)
if (....)

Al work in Perl and spaces in between are irrelevant

Which is why I came over here to post, thought it may help someone else. http://www.yabbforum.com/community/YaBB.pl?num=1171750247/15

Most of the time errors on manual modding are coming from forgotten ; (line closures) or because a piece of code was not pasted at the exact location it was ment to be pasted.

Sometimes the search anchors in the mod look te be occurring more then once in the code so it easy to make such mistakes in manual modding.

allthough perl is a very forgiving language a forgotten ; or a {} () too many or too little will crash the script.

Well, I appreciate you both clarifying this for me. I just go on the advice of others because I have no coding or perl experience of my own. I certainly didn't mean to insult anyone, if I did so, by making a false claim of a bug, it was just an effort to help out the next guy.

I'm happy I posted here though, because now I know it was something I did during the process that caused this mistake and I can make sure to be a lot more careful next time I install a mod.

Thank you again,
Dominic
