I checked my old db.. it was mysql 4.0 and my new target db is 4.1 I'm copying over my old 4.0 into a new 4.1 db and will try to run the phpbb restore function. perhaps, the issue about 4.0 not dealing with NAMES will go away.. time will tell.. Randall Can you tell me how to do that and did this he...

I'm trying to convert my database to the new 3.03 and I'm getting this error, anyone know why? General Error SQL ERROR [ mysqli ] MySQL server has gone away [2006] SQL UPDATE phpbb_config SET config_value = 'a:3:{s:4:\"step\";s:38:\"&current_table=0&skip_rows=221\";s:12:\...

I have 3.0 installed on the server and look have been looking at it, but don't see the advantages if I have to redo all the work I have done so far in 2.0. Are all of the MODS like photo album, attachments, top 10 posters, quiz, fantasy sports and the like available in 3.0?

So can anyone tell me why I would want to convert?

My forums are heavily modded, http://www.dawgbones.com/phBB/index.php and I realize support for the 2.0 version is ending. My question is can I convert and keep all the MODS I have installed or will I have to re-load all of them? Will I loose all the attachments that are currently on the board? Will...

I'm trying to upload an attachment, but I'm getting this error message when I hit the add attachment button:

Upload Error: Could not upload Attachment to ./files

I was wodnering if it was possible to style a subforum differntly from the rest of the forums on the site? I would want the over_header.tpl to be different in one forum then in another. Can you do this and if so how would I go about it? Thank you.

The admin e-mail is the same as what I have put in the cron job. Your web host may be scanning outgoing mail for spam and it is thinking the digest is spam. Web hosts don't want to get blacklisted. If you suspect this is the problem, file a support request with your web host. What exactly would I sa...

Is there any reason why I am the only one that gets the e-mail digest? I have the cron set up and that is what delivers the e-mail digest to me so I know that works. I have all users set to receive the digest as well, but none are getting it and I have a couple of test accounts set up with different...

Mark knowing that the e-mail client may not like the javascript, is there another coding technique that can be used that the e-mail client won't mind?

Can someone tell me what file I would need to edit to add an advertising banner script to the daily e-mail digest? A google adsense, Burst Media or ValueClick ad would be desired, but really any javascript banners. I have added a background image to my e-mail digest using CSS, but do not know how to...

I added the MOD and I get the digest sent to my e-mail when I put mail_digests.php in theweb browser. MY problem is the links all come like this: http://www.dawgbones.comphbb/viewforum.php?f=2 There should be a / between dawgbones.com and phBB. Anyone know how I can fix this? I'l lbe asking about se...

I have had this MOD on my forums for a long time, but there is a quirky problem with it. I am trying to add a feed from my main page: http://www.dawgbones.com/feed/results.xml I set it up to be delivered in the "Browns News" forum of my phpBB. It won't display anything in there. When I cha...

Is there a way that you can use html or php to post a topic or reply to one? Thanks.

Sorry about the link, I fixed it.
