[MelGibson]

Well the first time It was Search table and I simply replaced it until it started going bad on the hour

This time around just get the cant connect/slight database problem msg

[MelGibson]

Thank you, Suppose I should have looked for a FAQ like I always ***** at posters on my board to do HA!

[MelGibson]

Is it going to be as simple as copying over data then make changes accordinly in config.php?

Or should I reinstall PHP then just upload previous configurations and a back up database?...

[MelGibson]

Oh and anyone know where its generating the HTML for cannot connect to database?

Id like to change it to give link to a temp forum and ETA of my repair

[MelGibson]

(First let me apologize for the generalness of the following questions)

I repair and optimize regularly after first time my DB crashed, Only to find it happen again .

I run...

[MelGibson]

too bad there isn't a way to ban someone's MAC address.... (of course the crazy people would spoof it with linux)

[MelGibson]

The reps on my forums got really messed up and now everyone's rep is skewed. Is there a way to just set the rep back to zero for everyoen w/o having to go to each individual person to do it?

[MelGibson]

Well, BillaBongUSA, I would not like that very much. That is specifically why if I did enable uploading on my forums, I would put in place a way to stop people from hotlinking. I believe it is the responsibility...

[MelGibson]

I don't see how vBulletin could be held responsible for that......

[MelGibson]

Honestly though, I think the code for it could be made in about an hour. So it's not that big of a request......

[MelGibson]

How can I make it so they don't/can't hotlink to other sites?

[MelGibson]

I don't know.. I would think that would be a standard option which would come with VB without having to hack it.

[MelGibson]

Well, I guess I just don't understand why, and neither does the community that is using the forums I'm hosting.

I just find it hard to believe vBulletin (costs 160) doesn't do something...

[MelGibson]

????

So, the only way the users can have an avatar is by me having to host them for them?

I just dont' have enough bandwith to do that....

Why isn't there an...

[MelGibson]

The problem is my users want to use their own custom avatars which is fine. I do not, however, want to allow them to upload onto the site (bandwith reasons). I also can't seem to find an option in the...

[MelGibson]

Ha, I feel like an idiot. Thanks!

I first installed it to www.gatcity.com/upload so I could test it there first. The forums I was previously using was at www.gatcity.com/forum so I just renamed the upload file to "forum" via...
