-First, ensure that you have an up-to-date Synchronet system running Synchronet 3.17 or higher, and ensure that your Synchronet JavaScript files (in sbbs/exec/load) are up to date.  Before the official Synchronet 3.17 is/was released, daily 3.17 beta builds can be downloaded from Vertrauen (the home BBS of Synchronet).  See the section below titled "Updating Synchronet".+First, ensure that you have an up-to-date Synchronet system running Synchronet 3.17 or higher, and ensure that your Synchronet JavaScript files in sbbs/''[[dir:exec]]''/load are up to date (it wouldn't hurt to also ensure your .js files in your ''[[dir:exec]]'' directory are also up to date).  The easiest way to update your JavaScript files would probably be to download [[ftp://vert.synchro.net/Synchronet/sbbs_run.zip|sbbs_run.zip from Vertrauen]], extract that somewhere, and then copy the .js files from ''[[dir:exec]]'' and ''[[dir:exec]]''/load to your sbbs/exec and sbbs/exec/load directories.
