Is this where I get help from admins or other vB people?

Sorry to bother you again, Steve, but my question is ... if I add him to the moderator user group, that doesn't mean he'll have mod powers on any of my forums, right? Still just the one that I'm spe...

[steveu]

Thanks, Steve ...

One more question - If I make an assignment, and I want that individual to only be a moderator for that forum, do I want to keep him as a "registered user" on...

[steveu]

Well, this is the question I had:

I've been looking at permissions, etc., on my forum

[steveu]

If I'm trying to figure out how to do something, and can't, do I post it here? I did so last night and only got a response from another user that didn't really resolve it. Do I need to post elsewhere...

[steveu]

Sorry, I don't have an IM ... could you send me a PM here? Thanks

[steveu]

I ban them because that helps me track them if they try and register again under a new email addy.

If I ban an IP, I might prevent a new user from being able to sign up. Some systems seem...

[steveu]

I should add that the feature does actually appear on the members' posts, but it shows "0" for most people, or "1" or "2" or something if they got in a few before we turned...

[steveu]

Thanks ... but man, I could have sworn that shortly after we got this version (DyeStat.com is our site), it was running briefly (matter of hours) and then we turned it off.

Well, can you...

[steveu]

Very shortly after we got 3.5.3 this year, we shut off the individual post counters, because our teenagers get competitive with it and put up meaningless posts to increase their post count. Somehow,...

[steveu]

I'm sorry, I saw that, but if the db info in my config.php file is wrong, how do I make it right? Or if it doesn't have permission to access the database listed in config.php, how do I do that?

[steveu]

Thanks, but can you tell me how to run upgrade.php ... or how to resolve my database errors when upgrading?

[steveu]

I did these things below:

Close your board via the Admin Control Panel.
Upload all files from the 'upload/' folder in the zip, with the exception of 'install/install.php'. Then open...

After I tried to upload 3.0.11 to replace 3.0.7, I got this


There seems to have been a slight problem with the database.
Please try again by pressing the refresh button in...

[steveu]

It was recommended to me by Steve M. to go with 3.0.11 ... sorry to be ignorant, but not even sure how to do a database backup (I was kinda thrown to the wolves on this).

Now my problem...

[steveu]

This is my first attempt at an upgrade and my webmaster is kind of leaving me to figure it out for myself. I guess I upload to Dreamweaver, where I found the old forum folders. All the msg board posts...

[steveu]

Thanks for the reply, but I'm not sure what you mean about waiting 12 hrs. before bumping.

I don't know if I can get my webmaster/editor-in-chief to upgrade. What's the cost involved?...

[steveu]

Help! Help!

[steveu]

Our webmaster, who I assist by running his msg board, has installed a new server for our entire web site (DyeStat.com). I didn't think I was going to have to make any adjustments for our msg board, but...

[steveu]

Just got 3.0.7 for DyeStat TrackTalk ... trying to figure out how to disable post counters. Tried everything on my control panel and can't find it. Thanks
