  1. Tried CHMOD'ing the packages folder to 777 and uploading a mod didn't work. I then created a "temp" folder and CHMOD'ed that to 777, and uploading didn't work. Same error message. Glad I have a workaround. Any other suggestions welcome.
  2. I have installed the Simple Machines Forum (SMF) at http://mariokartcommunity.com/home and am having problems uploading packages (mods). I keep getting this error: " Package upload failed due to the following error: "Although the package was downloaded to the server it appears to be empty. Please check the Packages directory, and the "temp" sub-directory are both writable. If you continue to experience this problem you should try extracting the package on your PC and uploading the extracted files into a subdirectory in your Packages directory and try again. For example, if the package was called shout.tar.gz you should: 1) Download the package to your local PC and extract it into files. 2) Using an FTP client create a new directory in your "Packages" folder, in this example you may call it "shout". 3) Upload all the files from the extracted package to this directory. 4) Go back to the package manager browse page and the package will be automatically found by SMF." " This is the second install of SMF I have tried to upload a mod onto. Any ideas? UPDATE: I have found a workaround. I can upload the mod files (ex: EzPortal) into the "EzPortal" sub-directory I created in the "Packages" directory, and then I can install the mod. Don't know why I can't upload the mods directly.
  3. Well, if you got OS X installed, you could always try "DrawIt"; its available on the Mac App Store. If your on Windows, then maybe Inkscape? Hope this helps.

  5. Just wanted to say hello to HawkHost! I just bought the Basic plan (six month payments) at 11:33 AM, and my hosting is now active. This is an amazing activation time. I will post a first day review at my site's blog shortly. Just waiting for my domain to transfer. Thanks HawkHost!
