Yes it is confusing then. How did you do the backup? phpMyAdmin?

If you have access to phpMyAdmin you can delete it that way or if you wish you can email me your username and password and I will delete it.

You could always stick with version 2.2. I see no major reason to upgrade.

no, you could delete the entrie book_* tables that you installed with 2.3.1 then install your 2.2 backup. Then use my upgrade script.

Don't worry about it, you can't be as dense as JTD.

This is because 2.3.1 has more fields in it than 2.2 did.

As it says at the top of the templates section of the admin you need to give write permission to the templates first. I personally do not recommend doing this as it is a security risk. Either use an FTP client to download the file, edit it on your PC and then reupload it or, and this is my recommendation, download PS Pad which is a text editor with built in FTP client. With PS Pad you can edit the file on your server.

Yup I was refering to the guest post. I have helped numerous people with installing and customising the guestbook and have never asked for payment of any sort (although feel free to click the adverts on my site). I have been given gifts for the help I have given, mainly in the cases when I have physically go into their web space and installed or customised it for them (and very nice chocolate biscuits they were as well) but to come here and say you will fix it for money is taking the Micheal.

Useless to me as I already use the rel attribute as the target attribute is only supported in transitional doc types. As JTD says the robots metatag can achieve exactly the same. This move by Google is pointless. Yes one reason for spam is to increase search engine positioning but it is mainly publicity, the more links to your site the more likely people are to click it.

Absolute URL sis best so background="http://www.xxx.com/image.gif"

The BODY tag is found in templates/header.php. Simply add the background="" or add a body section to the CSS.

Now thats funny. Even funnier is the fact they are touting for business and forgot to say how the person could contact them. Anyways integrating the guestbook into a website is reasonably simple (not as simple as the guestbook I am working on but ho hum) and a search of this forum will provide several different ways of achieving it.

Did you just follow my instructions of a previous thread and just copy the HTML from before where you wish the guestbook to be into the header.php file and the HTML from after into the footer.php file? I looked at your addentry page and saw you have 2 body tags.

Whoops thanks white owl. I forgot about gb_name in the javascript, yes change them as well.
