Any help would be appreciated.

Invalid SQL errors are almost always related to modified code.

To troubleshoot this, first reupload all the original vB non-image files (except install.php). Make sure you upload these in ASCII format and overwrite the ones on the server. Also be sure to upload the admincp files to whichever directory you have set in your config.php file. Then run 'Suspect File Versions' in Diagnostics to make sure you have all the original files for your version and that none show 'File does not contain expected contents':

Admin CP -> Maintenance -> Diagnostics -> Suspect File Versions

[Note: In some cases you may also need to remove any of the listed .xml files in the includes/xml directory.]

Next, disable all products (except vB Blog and vB CMS if you are running the Suite.)

Admin CP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Disable

Then manually uncheck all plugins that are not for 'vBulletin Blog' and vBulletin CMS' here:

Admin CP -> Plugins & Products -> Plugin Manager

Then if you still have this problem, create a new style and choose no parent style. This will force it to use the default templates. Finally empty your browser cache, close all browser windows then try again. Make sure you change to the new style and view your forums with it.

Do you have the same problem?

[Aaron217]

It is still giving the error as above.

[Steve Machol]

Unfortunately I don't see how that is possible. In addition I can readily see that you have add-ons and a heavily customized style on your site. Please try those instructions again.

[Aaron217]

No add-on's besides 1 that powers the "Site's Core" and "vBulletin". I will try those steps again and see if I messed up last time.

When we do ask you to disable addons we do mean all of them, at the very least temporarly to test.

[Aaron217]

My developer disabled his product and we tried everything as stated above, however the site is still giving the error. It is very odd because it was working just fine and then just recently started doing this.

We recently went from using MySQL to MySQLi if that makes any difference.

If you have followed all the steps in post #2, then fill out a support ticket at:

http://members.vbulletin.com/membersupport_contactform.php

Please include a complete description of the problem and be sure to include the login info to your Admin CP, phpMyAdmin and FTP in the 'Sensitive Data' field.

I have found the issue with it, it seems my database has become corrupt and we are moving to a fresh install of vBulletin to fix this.

Thanks Steve for your help.
