From the invision marketplace when it existed. 

I don't remember seeing that plugin before. Hopefully someone will remember it and who coded it and then you can contact the author and see if they have a latest version.

Any idea where I can find the latest version of this plugin and if it is still supported by the author, not sure if this is or isn't them: @Catzwolf

Looking at their profile it says: Last visited February 3, 2003, so I doubt that they are the author of that plugin.

Where did you download it from? 

What was the latest change/modification done to the forum prior to that happening?

You can upload the contents of the Ipb folder inside whatever folder/directory that you used to install Ipb and don't forget to select the overwrite method.

Not able to re-run the upgrade.

Why weren't you able to re-run the upgrade if I may ask? Did you get any errors? 

Additionally, I have seen this type of error before when I upgraded a forum for someone here and in that case it was cause by insufficient disk space in the Temp folder.

The sql query(ies) fetch data that is greater than the size of the tmp folder.

If the utf8mb4conversion won't solve the issue, you should check the location of the /tmp folder to ensure that it has enough disk space to store temporary tables.

And while trying to do the fixes with the web gui it broke our complete forum.

It broked it how? What error messages did you get? Can you remember them?

What do you mean by Website ID, can you please clarify?

Good afternoon,

Does anyone have any ideas why I can't upgrade in the admin panel like I could in previous versions? It wants me to do the upgrade manually.

What is your current version? Anyways, doing a manual upgrade is not that complicated.

I can't login to the admin CP, the forum just shows a blank page.

Can you check the server error logs and post here the most recent messages logged in there?

Also, what was the latest change done to the forum prior to this happening?

we are not able to go to the old admin panel via browser, is it still possible to update our old forum?

You can reset the admin password very easily either from the frgot password link or through the database.

What would you say, would it be wiser to just update whole forum 'normally', or start from clean table, and only take members and posts from the old one, if you know what I mean? 

The best way imo is to do a whole upgrade rather than parts and bits.

If we do not get access to the old admin center, what can we do? Can we still take old posts and members from the server, and put them to the new clean forum?

When you say admin center, do you mean your forum's admin panel or your host's?

I know its update template of ipb focus theme

Is that custom theme compatible with your forum version? if not it needs to be upgraded or uninstalled.

Hello,

How can I prevent users from replying twice in a row? 

I don't want to merge the two replies; I want to restrict the second replay streak.

That will require a custom app.

I don't know what just happened but my custom databases have disappeared. 😱

When I try to access them in my ACP I see this: 

It looks like Pages app is not included in your hosting plan by looking at the screenshot.

Also I must admit I'm a bit annoyed that they just sit there for days on end (it's a tiny forum!) and I cannot tell what they're up to.

I've developed a mod that will log and records all guests visits and the admin can look at the app's settinsg what guests viewed, when they viewed it and the ip addresses used by guests. You can pm me if you are interested in having the app.

Are there any other messages being logged at the System Logs page? If you can't get to it from the Admin Panel you can view the messages at its table in the database.

But anyway, what's the best way to update if I no longer have access to the ACP? Upload manually and start the script by hand?

One thing that I wanted to add is to make a backup of the database beforehand. 

Additionally it's best security wise to not post out in the open the names of the database and its user.

Really simple this one but I can't find a solution

I want to go into my backend of my site and just delete all validating members where people have applied to join the site

How do I do this?

I have developed an app that will do just that.

Before there in php admin remove all databases or?

You don't need to remove the database, otherwise you can't import the backup. Another thing to make sure is that your server meets all the requirements for the latest Ipb version.

PLease help me so we can import and after upgrade it .I bought new licence but there is no option to upgrade it

If you wan to upgrade to the latest version, you don't need the older version. You can upgrade without it. To do so, first install the latest Ipb version, import the database backup and then as last step run the upgrader to bring the database up to date with the latest version.

I have done quite several such upgrades and each time without any issues. Hope it helps.

It looks like this could be a bug. 

What is your forum version and what was the latest change done to the forum prior to this happening?
