Thanks for the suggestion, I didn't think of that and I know divs can greatly influence page layout from working in Joomla. I copied the overall_header.html file that I'm using and dumped it into the div check file at tormus.com. It produced a nice div chart of the file and said that there was "...

My site was working fine until recently when some changes occurred to shift things a bit -not sure if it was one of the recent updates or not. Anyways some of my header components now overlap and the orange banner became shorter. Also the date is now right against the coloured area and could use som...

All users should be member of the Registered Users group, regardless of any other groups they are member of. Whenever you remove a group, all members who had that group as standard group, will get the Registered Users group as standard group. That's what I thought would happen and what I want to ha...

I sure wouldn't want all those in the Special group to end up in Guests!

I have a forum with about 3000 registered members. 2000 of these members are in a Special group which is their default group. There are also some other Moderator groups and committee groups. I want to do away with this Special group. If I make the permissions of the Special group = the permissions o...

I tried different coloured backgrounds with no success, so that isn't the problem, It's not a huge problem at all, but still I'd like to solve it.

The bbcode, horizontal rule works properly in prosilver but not in a second optional style. All the other bbcodes work fine in both styles. I thought it might be a problem in template/bbcode.html but there is no such file in the second style so it must be inheriting this from prosilver. It's strange...

One of the problems with showing birthdays and age on a forum directed to teens is that as teens come and go, their birthday and age remain year after year. It looks a little strange then after a few years to see Congratulations to Shangie (25), missionplace (23) and so on -long after they have been...

I contacted the site host about this and this was the reply. Perhaps it may be useful to someone else. By default mysql dumps the tables to /tmp on a repair and if /tmp fills the repair will halt (without a warning message). This typically happens if the tables are large. I've changed the mysql tmpd...

Looking at the database structure again today in phpmyadmin, it shows the table phpbb3_search_wordmatch "in use". Does this mean the table is still being repaired after 12 hours and a shutdown of phpmyadmin? It is a quite large database.

I tried that and it failed

then I tried

REPAIR TABLE phpbb3_search_wordmatch;

This seemed to do nothinge xcept say trying to connect to host so I stopped it after an hour or more

I got another general error as shown below. How can i fix this? General Error SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ] Got error -1 from storage engine [1030] SQL SELECT l.*, f.* FROM phpbb3_profile_lang l, phpbb3_profile_fields f WHERE l.lang_id = 1 AND f.field_active = 1 AND f.field_no_view = 0 AND l.field_id = f.fie...

I get the following error after saving a user name change in admin but the change was made. I'm not sure how to fix this error. Any suggestions please? SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ] Table './homename_bbforum/phpbb3_search_wordmatch' is marked as crashed and last (automatic?) repair failed [144] SQL SELECT w....

That worked for me also. Thanks

As noted elsewhere, I uploaded the new file adm/style/install_update.html and it worked fine. Thanks
