Just noticed this in the readme:
BEFORE YOU OVERWRITE phpbb_security.php, make sure you change
function phpBBSecurity_AdminConfigName()
{
return 'admins_allowed';
}
function phpBBSecurity_ModConfigName()
{
return 'mods_allowed';
}
function phpBBSecurity_UseSpecial()
{
return 'block_unwanted';
}
to the correct names. These 3 need to be changed to what you currently have in your phpbb_security
file. If you dont change these in the new phpbb_security file before you overwrite it, you could
have problems saving some of the fields in the ACP.
So I probably forgot to get the old values.. is there anywhere I can get he old values from the DB so I can update my php file?

when upgrading from 2.0.17, you really need to apply the phpBB Security update BEFORE installing any of the phpBB updates. The phpBB Updates have some of the code for Security v1.0.3, and if you have not upgraded to that version, then you will get errors on your boards.
Don't forget to run the ps_upgrade.php either.

Yes, they are in the phpbb_config table.

Unfortunately, they're impossible to find if you don't know what you called them. Unless you know this little trick.
Using phpmyadmin, browse the config table looking for three field's config_name(s); sec_admin, sec_mods and sec_name.
The config_value of each is the same as phpbb_security.php values.
sec_admin = number of allowed admins.
sec_mods = number of allowed mods
sec_name = blocks unwanted... whatever it blocks...
Just so there's no confusion I'll repeat...
You want the config_value of these three fields.

did you download and install the Security 1.0.3 update? The IM patches only have part of the update applied, to get the rest of them you must install the Stand alone Security update.

and then you did the phpBB updates after that correct?
It seems like somethign is missing. You might want to double check using the manual file edits, just to check and make sure nothing is missing.

I checked the files and I confirmed all the changes are in. So my only idea is that I installed the updates in the wrong order.
Is there a way around this?

Since I have no idea what I did wrong and the files look fine, what do I need to do to here? There's no way to start from scratch? Am I screwed forever? Is there a way to do a fresh install and port over my template, settings, and posts?

Can someone please tell me where in the DB I need to look to fix this setting manually.. what table or something. This is really annoying. I made a dummy admin for now just so I'm not getting the PMs every day.

Setting up Dummyadmin didn't work. Preferences aren't saving. Going to try copying over tpl files as per the install doc.

The db columns are in the config table.
phpBBSecurity_notify_admin_pm - for pm's
phpBBSecurity_notify_admin_em - for emails
The code to turn this feature off seems fine to me, so I'm not entirely sure where to go from here. Check to see that those fields exist, their value should be 0 to turn them off.
