Hello All, I am looking for some help moving the entire database from my old server to the new one. I am not sure how to go about doing it, I was able to "restore" the old SQL database into my new server, however my old MySQL database has a different name (not anymore), username, and password, so I don't know how to point the new server to the imported database. Can anyone help me or direct me on the easiest way to do this?

I want to do a conversion from myBB for just the members that are on there. I don't want this conversion to mess up the members that I already have on my IPB community forum. Can someone assure me that running this members conversion won't mess up the current existing members on my IPB, but instead just "add" to them?

I've just noticed that guests can no longer see poll results, they now see "You do not have permission to vote in this poll, or see the poll results. Please sign in or register to vote in this poll." I've not touched a setting and swear it didn't used to be like this, must have changed when those little ? icons were introduced. Is there anyway to allow guests to see the results or is this a thing now?

This is getting old. Is there any way to stop this repeating activity stream and just have it post once? (Locker or Limited Slip) I don't need to travel through 2 pages worth the same post over and over to find the next post. Can't this be just one time taking you your last read post?

I have the editor set to “Go to next line”, which displays fine in topics. But, because the editor enters a blank <p> line in-between paragraphs, it shows 2 empty lines between paragraphs in emails for followed content. It also does this in some apps that pull in content. So emails and these apps look wrong with all that white space in-between paragraphs. Surely, it’s not meant to be like this, and paragraphs should have one blank line in-between them everywhere, for consistency?

I never had this issue before but there's something weird going on at my site: My hosting provider keeps sending me warnings about the size of my forum's database. I have a forum with around 35.000 posts. Its size has always been around 300 MB. Recently, the size of the database has more than doubled (over 800MB, when the limit is 750.) At least that's what "Mysql Databases" says. But then, when I click on phpadmin, and I check the size of the tables on that database, it's still 3xxMB. Where are the other 4xx MB coming from?? The odd thing is that if I make some changes on my site, like changing the file system from data storage method from file system t…

When I add an event to my calendar it puts itself in a day earlier. For example, I have an event which occurs each year on the 13th July. I have edited the event and all the details are correct, however, when I view the calendar, its showing on the 12th July. Every event is the same, regardless of the date I enter, the event is populated the day before. Some of my events include deaths, so I don't want to insult anyone by getting the date wrong. Im sure I have seen this issue raised before. Any help appreciated.

Can someone please tell me how to add a custom database field to a feed block? I have a home page with a block showing records from my "Articles" database, which includes a field named "teaser". I remember this was pretty easy with IP. Content, but with Pages I can't figure it out. Here is what I've tried so far: I created a new block using Pages > Page Management > Blocks > Create New Block. In the Create New Block dialog I selected Type: Plugin and I tried both "Record Feed" and "Feed from Articles" for the Plugin Type. Then under the Content tab I selected Template: "Default template" and "Use as a base for a custom template". That get's me the …

I am setting up a physical store item to sell on my site. This is not an item I stock and I would like a notification email with the full order details automatically sent to the manufacturer. Currently the notification email only includes the information below. Is it possible to add more through a setting I have overlooked, or does this need manually coding in?
