[Floris]

Okidoki .. /me shouts for scott!

You can

Close the browser and open it again, goto the admin control panel login screen, there is a button there called [options], click it and you can see it will update and show you the 'style choice', from where you can select one of the alternative styles.

Maybe now you can compare and see all the options or not.

Thanks for the reply.

This is an old thread that I bumped and I do use the new style now. Scott did help me (with success) to solve this on beta 7, but I recently upgraded to RC2 and after the upgrade the options disappeared again...

So I know Scott can help me with this but I just hope I don't have to ask him that every upgrade

I would like to know what is causing this though

can't try the other styles because I can't see the options to change it.

Bump for Scott please...

[dutchbb]

pm me with phpMyAdmin, admin panel and ftp details and I'll have a look.

I think its the settings entries which are blank.

Scott,

I upgraded from vb3 B7 to RC2 and the problem returned...

Can you have a look, maybe find out why it happens?

Thank you!

thats almost everything i can think of, hopefully a dev will wonder by sorry i couldnt help

[dutchbb]

Thanks for the help, but this didn't work either.

Is there a developer who can look into this pls?

[Zachery]

I BELIVE, you need to set your board into debug mode so you can have the options,

Before we start you may wish to backup your database. as im not 100% sure if this will fix it.

First, turn you boards off.

which you would do by, first, EDIT config.php on an empty line, like around 92, and type this or copy and paste

$debug=1;

then go to your ACP, and click on vBulletion Options > and then you will see what says Developer Options, where it says IMPORT Settings XML file, Browse and import the ORIGINAL settings (vbulletin-settings.xml) which you should find in your zip from the members area

then remove $debug=1; from your config.php

reopen your boards

this should reimport the admin settings.

[dutchbb]

hmm, well... the only other thing i could think of is try reimporting the admin settings, however this could overwirte any of your current settings >.>

How do I reimport the admin settings pls?

are you setup to have full admin permissions? try using one of the two new vb3 admin styles for the hell of it

Yes I am the only admin with all permissions...
I can't try the other styles because I can't see the options to change it. When I click on "show all settings" everything shows, but without the text...

Also when trying to save something (in options), it reloads but doesn't save it. I have to change it in the database to have effect.

My best guess is that something went wrong when our board was updated from 2.3 to 3.0 beta, maybe the language system... Strange because it worked for a while, but now the problem is back

if you feel its a language option reimport the language.xml

Just tried that, reimported the language also tried rebuilding it both with no luck.
