Board Blew Up

[uncle fuzzy]

Got it. Board is working now. Have a support contract (ready for the next problem).

Thanks for the help.

1. I downloaded the 5.2.0 files from the Member Area. I assume those are the correct files since 5.2.3 is patches.
2. I uploaded the upload/core/install folder into vbulletin/core
3. I uploaded...

Sorry for the confusion. I misspoke about "reinstall".

Where do I find upload/core/install? vbulletin did my original install, so I don't have any of the files nor do I see them...

I have vBulletin integrated with other pages on my website,...
