It should list anything that's "enabled" in the WGSDMOD offline utility. Basically "enabled" means there's a (module).MDF file, and "disabled" means there's a (module).DMD file. Make sure you're copying in a .MDF file along with the .DLLs and .MSGs and whatnot. If there's no .MDF, the module will not be available in the menu tree editor.

Are the modules you have added showing up in the CNF utility (General Settings, Security & Accounting, etc)? They should be in alphabetical order by filename, so look in the "E" part of the alphabet.

No nothing is showing in the wgsdmod, just the regular programs but no modules. The .mdf files are in the files I pit into the main DIR. But no DMD files(?) Thanks!

The .DMD files would only exist if you had disabled the module in WGSDMOD. It just renames the .MDF to .DMD so the BBS knows not to load it. I have never seen the issue where the modules don't appear listed in WGSDMOD. Are you positive you're putting them into the right directory? All of the files should go in the root of MBBS (BBSV10 or WGSERV most likely).

Is your MBBS10 a fresh install, or an upgrade from WG3.2?

Just a clean install of WG3.2 ( I do have a wg2.0 system from the past.)

I think I found the problem, as soon as I can get the board to load again(did a reinstall of windows and wg3,2.

did you do an upgrade from the 2.0 -> 3.2?
