After upgrading my forum from 3.8 to 4.2 I get the following errors at the top of the screen in the ARTICLES or if I hit the WHAT"S NEW. The forums seem to all work correctly, No addins running,...

I could not get a setting to work that would prevent the time out. I ended up doing it by brute force. I created a backup test site to learn the impact.

I allowed a thread to accumulate over 130,000 posts... (dont ask.)
I would like to delete that thread. Normal thread deletion times out.
Any suggestions?

[cmmguy]

There was no option to import thread prefixes. That's a pain.

[cmmguy]

Ok... this error never really went away. I thought it did but it did not.

There is some setting in a the database somewhere that is telling the vBulletin software to look on the old server...

If I typed the url into the address line, the browser address line would change to the raw server location on the old server. I later tested it on a IE(I dont use it very much) and it didnt do it so I...

[cmmguy]

What do you mean? I am looking for clues as to why this wont run.

I moved a 3.8 vb to a new server and then upgraded it to 4.4.2. After upgrading it errored out and leaves the old server location in the address line.

Thank you.

Should I get it working first, ie connecting, before updating the version?

[cmmguy]

Ok, thank you. Just to be sure... there is no compatibility issues with my vB version and php 5.4 or the mysql version?

[cmmguy]

I did and they see nothing wrong. I have mysqldumper on teh same domain just one folder location different and it is using teh exact same settings to access the vbulletin database that the forum software...

Database error - The database has encountered a problem.

That's the message... with no clue to what the problem is.

Ok I missed how that answers my question of which user group overrides the other. The user already belongs to the user group that I want the username markup to apply to.

EDIT: Nevermind,...

[cmmguy]

Is there a heirarchy of usergroups where one usergroup would override the settings of another?

I have tried this setting exactly as described above but it is in Custom/Additional usergroup...
