You probably have checked not to use COPPA in the ACP. Hence, no group permissions. That was it! I was looking for a "COPPA on/off" switch in the ACP, but couldn't find it. But I just found someone else's ticket. I've now turned COPPA on, jiggled with the group until I could get rid of all the non-...

The [3.2.x] Support Forum is missing two sections that the [3.1.x] Support Forum has: Screen Shot 2018-04-04 at 23.47.40.jpg I wrote a support topic about having problems getting a custom BBCode (that worked in 3.0.x) to work with 3.2.x and got confused when a moderator moved the topic to a 3.1 subf...

We don't actually use Registered COPPA users, but I don't want that group to have extra permissions. Is there a setting in the ACP for hiding Registered COPPA users from Group permissions? Don't make work and trouble for yourself. If there is no one in the group, it doesn't matter. Sounds about rig...

Tapatalk i unistall sucess but i dont know how to unistall nv advanced ? Me and another admin that looks after my website just went through this. We got stuck getting 3....

Sorry about that kinerity. I'll have a chat with Chimpman. I'm guessing he missed the bump rule. Here is the SQL to create the default roles. Note that #23 is a New Member role. Roles 23 & 24 were added in 3.1.x., so there was no standard role 23 in 3.0.x. So, it was a custom role you created but no...

Here is an example of a page on our forum where the table is not showing up: Monsters of Ghostwalk (on 3.2 forum) Here is the same topic on the Wayback Machine, where you can see how the table used to display data: Monsters of Ghostwalk (3.0 version at the Wayback Machie) A friend has found me anot...

Thanks pal, I know that his forum is obsolete. I'm afraid it's impossible to update it — too much mods. For now we've got a few issues there we have to fix ASAP (like users somehow can't change their email or password). After that we'll start thinking what to do with it next. As an option, we regar...

My father has a fishing club. A couple years ago I created him a discussion forum and it was running great. It has about 150 active users. I know that these numbers are very low, but this forum has no social media ads, no active work on a local market. I wouldn't suggest paying for social media adv...

The BBCode parser was changed. Thanks Steve. I know that Ascraeus was improving a lot of things, but totally lost track of what was happening and didn't know about this. And I know very little about the improvements of Rhea. I'll close the ticket with my hosting company then, as it isn't at their e...

I'm guessing we might need to get rid of those duplicates...as well as shunting people onto the right numbers. I've been communicating with Big Mac off the boards as well, but technically these aren't duplicates, since they are referencing different forums. I think the issue is more with the role_i...

To see what user(s)/groups have that role 23, run this query: SELECT user_id FROM phpbb_acl_users WHERE auth_role_id = 23; SELECT group_id FROM phpbb_acl_groups WHERE auth_role_id = 23 Then, back up the acl_roles table, and renumber 24 and 25 to 23 and 24, and renumber 23 to 26. Then, see what happ...

On a vanilla install of phpBB 3.2.2 you should have roles 1 - 24. phpBB does not normally use an id of 0 so that is certainly an issue. Can you post a screen shot of your roles table so that we can see what is there. I hope this is OK David. I had to be walked through finding the right table, by Ch...

What is a "brute-force" upgrade? Sorry for the confusion, Steve. That was me trying to summarise our previous issue Trying to prep migrated 3.0 forum for 3.2 upgrade, but stuck in the topic title. We were locked out of the ACP (after moving our 3.0 install) and even had some problems getting the ST...
