"roster.txt" was not found.

roster.txt contains all the information on your active (not banned) members. Without it, the updater has no members to get pages from, and can't update. If you changed the filename, or moved it to another folder, change it back. If the file is gone, create a new one and add the members again using the program.

"banned.txt" was not found.

banned.txt contains all the information on your banned members. You can update without it, as those members are ignored, but you cannot edit members and add new ones until that file is created/restored. If you changed the filename, or moved it to another folder, change it back. If the files is gone, create a new one.

"settings.dat" was not found.

Don't delete your files! settings.dat contains the information used to upload your information (server, pages to upload, etc). If you get this error, click the Settings button to make it automatically create the file with the default settings.

Runtime error - End of file

Stop manually editing your files! Do it all with the program. If you know what you changed manually, change it back manually. Or simply open the file with Notepad and delete everything in it.

Runtime error - File not Found

You may get this error if you deleted your template files. If not, the only other way this error should occur is if you didn't mark a user with an invalid character in their alias (Members screen). Invalid characters include any symbols you can't use in a filename, as well as foreign symbols like  and . Safe characters are:

- The alphabet (A-Z)
- Normal numbers (0-9)
- (!), (-), (_), (?), (.), comma

If you're not sure, mark the user as invalid anyway. You cannot be too safe.

If you're sure the names are fine, don't change anything. When I'm next online (AIM: YourElitenessPD), send me roster.txt, settings.dat (change your listed password!), and the backup files.

The updater says it's finished, but the new pages aren't online!

There was most likely an error in uploading your files. Check your FTP server, username, password, and make sure the files you want updated are ticked in on the Settings screen. Also make sure the server is online when you try to update. If all these are not the problem, then check the files in the upload folder to see if they are updated.

The pages updated, but some members have all their times listed as 20:00! (could be other value)

The updater couldn't find all their times (or their backup) and thus gave them the penalty listed in the Settings screen (default is 20:00). Check their times pages. Make sure the link is correct (they MUST start with "http://", not just "www"). Check that the member has not removed their page. Make sure the user does not use a colon (:) anywhere in their HTML code before the times themselves.

The pages are messed up! It missed some of the asterisks! (asterisk = *)

Either you manually edited the file and took some asterisks out, or you moved the HTML around so there were two sets of asterisks on one line. The updater will only read the first set of asterisks on each line. Future versions may be able to read all the asterisks no matter what the case. If this happens to you, fix whatever you did or download new template files to replace your current ones.
