Which template do I have to edit to make some changes to the Record Feed? I cannot find it nowhere...

I did it, the rest of the site seems ok, but the forum section is not working...

ΟΚ, so you also believe that this queries are correct and will probably solve the problem? The last time I run them the website was down and there were no forum catogories, post etc.

The hosting insist that there isn't any other problem in the server. The database errors I can get from the Get Support page are: There are some problems with your database. Normally it is safe to try to fix these problems automatically however if your community is large, you may want to run the necessary queries manually. If so, the queries to run are: CREATE TABLE `ipb_forums_forums_new` LIKE `ipb_forums_forums`; ALTER TABLE `ipb_forums_forums_new` ADD COLUMN `id` SMALLINT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT , ADD COLUMN `topics` INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 , ADD COLUMN `posts` INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 , ADD COLUMN `last_post` INT NULL , ADD PRIMARY KEY (`id`); INSERT IGNORE INTO `ipb_forums_forums_new` SELECT * FROM `ipb_forums_forums`; DROP TABLE `ipb_forums_forums`; RENAME TABLE `ipb_forums_forums_new` TO `ipb_forums_forums`; -- Are there any recomendations from you?

It is the 3rd time I am restoring the forum from a backup and after 2 hours the same problem. I get a critical update error for database issues. Can anybody from Invision Team check for a solution?

Earlier today I did the option 1, so I restored a backup and problem solved for 2-3 hours. Now the same problem with the database and some other suggestion in the Get Support page come again and I am looking for a solution.

No after the restore I didn't run anything, just waiting to check that everything was allright. But two hours ago the same problem appeared.

When I did that all the forums disappeared. Marc checked and said:

OK I recovered a backup, the forum was OK for some hours and now again the same errors. At the Get support page there is also a database error...

At the "Get Support" page in the ACP I had some suggestion to fix in the database section and I accepted them.

Suddenly the forum and all the ads in the page disappeared. If i click a forum thread url I get this error: ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

I am not sure which files I have to delete, that they are not longer needed. Can I hire someone to do this for me?

In some way the problem is that "something" is changing all the index.php files in the server. After restoring the /index.php and the /admin/index.php files I get this fix issue in my ACP. How can I get protected? Who can access and change this files? I have the latest IPS version.

Can I delete initdata.php from server?
