Before continuing, could you clarify some things for me, please? Yes, I will do the best I can. I appreciate your reply and seems broken down to where it will be easier to explain my issue. https://sybilsden.com/bb was a 3.0.12 board which didn't load originally but now does (with a message that it...

thank you for your response. I will look at the files you posted. right now is not a good time for me try and do anything with it.
I will try tomorrow morning.

Thank you again. I will let you know how it works out.

OK, now you need to browse to https://sybilsden.com/bb/install, click the Update tab, database only and follow the directions. So when you followed these directions, did the database update? It should have given you a progress bar and indicated that the database was updated successfully. As others ...

now it says my install folder had not been deleted. I know I deleted it.
don't matter, it still don't work.

what if I create another board, then insert my database? or
update my test board, then insert my data into it?

this is the first time I have had this nightmare problem with php.

I had the correct database. it is sybil3 I am so frustrated, I just want my board to work again. I might delete the whole thing. then try to update my test board (which I should have done first) then put the correct DB in it. would that work? I want my posts to come back. can someone please do this ...

Steve,
thank you for your support. I just get so confused and frustated.
I will try what you said.

here is what I will try next: use the install from php. (wish I would have thoght of that before :oops: ) If I remember correctly, it asks what database i want to use. I will use the databse I currently have. the only problem I probably will have is all the posts I have? Unless that is all in the da...

I tried that changing the theme to prosilver, but, I don't think it was even there. I am doing so many different things, I am confusing myself. Here is what I am thinking, let me know if this will work. I will install the php version on a new name. maybe something like https://sybilsden.com/bbn then...

I am working on it now..(with a migraine :roll: ) I am getting members emailing and by FB what happened. some think I shut the board down. right now, I am copying all the new files over the old ones. will that work? ok, now on the database, I have no idea how to update that. I never did it before. c...

seems the more I do, the worse it gets. I am getting confused.

can I install a new copy of php, then insert my database to it?

thank you, everyone. I will try everyone's suggestions. I plan on updating, but, thought I need to get the board working first. as for the theme, I know there is an upgrade to the theme I am using. However, I need to get on the board to do that. OH heck, I am so confused . I will let everyone know m...

I have tried everything I can think of. but, cannot get my message board to work. I have no idea what happened. I know the place I get my server from did a transfer on his server, not sure if that caused it. I asked him, and he said, no, however, he knows nothing about php. the web address to the on...

Robert,

Thank again for your help. I appreciate it very very much.

you are making this all much more difficult than it needs to be. :lol: I usually do that with everything. seems it's the easy stuff I have more problems with.. The script is on the 3.1.8 ver. nothing on the old one. can I just disable them, or completely delete it all from the server? I assume you ...

Robert, Oh heck, I just remembered about the control panel. yes, I did make changes. :oops: I have a couple scripts in the custom folder: Image1.jpg should I disable them? or won't it matter since it is in the "elegance" theme? geez, I hate to delete them, I went thru hell figuring it all out. pat
