Hi:
I have a custom user field called "How did you hear about us?" which was required in an effort to stop spammers in my old 2.28VB. The field WAS set so that it was required, not hidden, and was user-editable.
After up-grading to 2.30, users that try to edit their account could not see the field, and when up-dating their profile, were informed they had not filled it out, but could not see it to fill it out, even though I did not have the field set to "hidden." When I made the field optional, it re-appears in the user profile and all is well.
However, I am very worried about my database as this is the second problem I have had with it since upgrading. I had a problem the other day with user and userfield tables not matching. I used the script shown at:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/show...8984#post248984
to fix that problem and it did. Now I'm afraid this new problem is related.
I have phpmyadmin installed but am very inexperienced with it. I had it installed by my host so the VBB team could use it to troubleshoot problems.
Please help with any suggestions.
