I have to admit, I am a bit nervous about all this upgrading stuff. I have royally messed up my forums before and suffered for it. I know the security updates are important, but I need to know a sure fire way to update, with the correct files, with the correct edits to take me from 2.0.17 to present. :)

Maybe something for the knowledge base?

Post-Upgrade Error:

Not sure if anyone has found this and I just read all 151 posts on this topic trying to see if anyone encountered this...

Logged in as admin when I click "Delete this topic" it takes me to the next window that says "General Error - An error occurred".

Anyone else experiencing this issue? If anyone has a resolution, please share! I can delete posts individually, just not topics all together.

Thank you in advance! Besides that one issue, I haven't found any other errors.

I have the same error when I go to 'Moderate this forum' > I select a thread > click 'Delete' > click 'Yes' > "General Error

An Error Occurred"

Would be nice to have a fix for this...

Yes. It remains constant. I changed themes even to see if it was something with that theme, and still nothing.

No ideas? Anyone? I wouldn't even know where to begin to look.

Also, I found after this upgrade that when I tried to add a user manually via the ACP it seems to fill in my (admin) information by default. Once the user is created (even with different info) it gives them the same group membership as I. Slighty odd.

Cops-

I have users lock themselves out. I go through ACP to modify the user account. It then places my user name inplace of theirs in the username field. Just re-enter their username back in that field if it happens and you should be fine. Then save changes and all should be good.

I can't help you with the other problems, sorry.

I have not had any problems with my upgrade either. Everything seems to work perfectly.

Can you copy the error and post it all exactly as it shows up?

OK...I'm getting brave and ready to do this. When you say back up files...which ones? I am so leery of this.

LOL...thanks. I'm sure I can do it, but I'm still way confused about the security update too. Are the premodded files the ones I should use? My board is not modded anymore than came with IM. Do I need to apply the fixes mentioned on the portal page to the security update or has it been fixed in the files for d/l? I'm sure if I can get past the security update, I can handle the phpbb update, as I've done them in the past with no problems. Or is this more complicated than previous updates? So many questions, and so much fear...haha.
