I'm not 100% sure that the phpBB doesn't have any extensions or MODs but I don't think it does. One MOD on the wikilist of MODs is Apache and during the searching to fix this I saw a line that refers to Apache. Also, I'm sure that I added stuff to my phpBB when it was 3.0 like smilies and maybe even more complicated. It's possible I modified something or added an extension but I don't remember doing it. Also, if relevant, PMs work.

This is a continuation of viewtopic.php?f=556&t=2499841
@ Matnum PI : I'll repeat it again, the database backup you sent me yesterday evening, and which I imported, has 47 tables. The last table included = search_wordmatch.
Tables missing are (not limited to) the topics tables, the users table, the user_group table, the styles table.
A phpBB 3.0.11 database has a minimum of 63 tables.

Nobody can update your 3.0.11 if it is that incomplete.

And as I have told you, since an upgrade to 3.2.5 was done, and that upgraded "seems" to have the data, all I, or anyone else, needs is the full database and a new upgrade can be attempted. Structurally the 47 tables present are all in order so at the moment I see nothing preventing a succesfull upgrade (apart from the database being incomplete).

Added: your 3.0.11 board is up and running: so use the Backup feature in the ACP: select all tables (1 click), save it compressed (as .gz). You will then find that backup in yourboardurl/store/
Spelling is freeware, which means you can use it for free.
On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.
