Anyone with no problems?

Could anyone who didnt have any install problems let me know? Id like to figure out if the install has a global or circumstantial problem.
Thanks,

Matthew

No problems. Took about 3 minutes to install and get running. I think the stylesheet has issues on my system though...

By the way, could you add a tar.gz version too (made one if you can\'t)? Some systems can\'t deal with a .zip

Make sure you add the CSS definitions to your themes style.css file. This is also documented in the install notes.

Good th hear the install was so easy - 3 min. Thats about right ;)

Heheh. 3 mins means I didn\'t read the instructions clearly enough. I\'ll add the css now...

I\'ve installed on one site and I\'m getting ready to do a second. No problems yet.

Small bug

The link to the Install notes has install_doc.htm

The actual file name is Install_doc.htm

That capital I makes a difference, at least on my server.

No other problems to report.

No problems. Great job, thanks to you guys (Mr. Gxblox too!)

Install doc was quite clear. One minor edit to it , where it says:

o        Did you get a successful completion message that your
database tables have been created
o        There should now be a forum link in your top header.
o        As admin, you should see the \"forum\" menu item in the
\"Admin Block\"

You should add that you might not see the \"forum\" link in the
header or admin menu until after you reload the page. That was
my experience. (However, the nice instructions about creating a
new forum, etc., which appear when you have a successful install,
DISAPPEAR after you reload. It would be nice to somehow have
them around after you reload the install page. Perhaps it could
say: \"If you haven\'t done these steps already, please do them now\"

The only odd thing I\'ve notices is that my one forum category name
does not appear, it seems blank. I\'m assuming this will be \"fixed\"
when I actually finish the install by updating the CSS for my
themes.

Thanks again guys. A forum is a crucial part of GL, IMHO.
