Problem upgrading from 3.6 to 3.8.4

[JeffJ]

I sent in a trouble ticket since no one has responded to me and I am at a standstill.

[JeffJ]

OK - what gives folks?

Pure vanilla 3.6 - standard templates no mods installed.

Database error thrown during upgrade to 3.8.4

thank you

how and when does VB make the decision to use additional subdirectories when saving attachments - such as s/e/r/ etc.......

[JeffJ]

can someone describe the logic behind the naming and creation of directories and naming of attachments when stored as individual files in vb 3.8?

thanks in advance.

Does anyone know of commercially published Avatar Libraries. I have a need for lots of avatars for multiple interests.
