I have just recently taken over an existing board, purchased a new owned license and moved the board to a new hosting site. Everything seems to have made the transition without any problem except for a couple of items.
The previous owner had an unbranded license and was running version 2.2.9. I purchased the branded version and installed version 2.3.2 and then restored the previous site's backup into it. I then saw that I needed to run the scripts to upgrade the restored site to version 2.3.2 and I did so.
The previous owner had remarked on but never explained that he had "changed something" and that no location is shown when a member posts even though the caption is there and a location entry exists in the member profile. The PostBit template has this entry as:
Location: $post[field2]<br> with the Location field in the profile showing up as the second from the bottom out of 5 fields. I have tried substituting 0, 1, 3, 4, and 5 for the field number but do not know if this is the correct syntax.
Further, I am happy to show the branding information for vBulletin but it has not come through either with the new install.
Can someone point me at which template(s) I should be looking in to make these corrections or what I am missing? I have read and digested the User Manual and am at a point of spinning my wheels on these minor issues.
If you need to actually visit the site it is http://www.signs101.com/forum
Thanx for any help you may have to offer.
