hello,

(yes me again, over here this time)

Tried upgrading but for some reason it went wrong;
When the upgrade.php was run the 'pop up' appeared but to a non existant web page. I then looked at the original page, and clicked on the link 'click here if you did not see the pop up window' and then I seemed to lose all my forum on the web.
If my forum was live this would of course been a bit awkward.
I didn't think I would have any chance / success of getting it back, so just deleted the whole lot including database and did a fresh install of 2.6.13RC2

One problem I've so far found, is when clicking on the 'Test Category' link on the web, (which I have renamed to something else in Category/Forum Manager) I get an error page showing the text below. When this first happened I thought I had probably lost my whole forum again, but luckily not.

This patch will fix the problem:
http://cvs.prohost.org/c/index.cgi/FUDforum/chngview?cn=3525

As far as the blank page, I am 99% certain the forum was still there and could've been recovered had you not deleted it.

thankyou;

I assume my problem with the forum apparently vanishing was permissions suddenly changing? Is there a general technique / first step to try when this kind of thing happens?

As for the category patch, what do I actually do with it? is it a diff? I only loosely understand such things and don't know how to manually do them.
I am ok with ftp of course, and manually changing code sections where and when specifically told to.

thankyou.

There is a link there to download the complete version of the file, if you do that all you need is to replace it and then rebuild the theme followed by consistency checker run.

great thanks, success.

This is not a criticism but I am finding the Fud way of files/design a bit 'techy', but I am getting used to it. I am just an operator with little or no unix knowledge or shell/command line access, happy with 'run this one script in your c panel and everything will happen for you' !

btw, I assume this is not possible, but ideally I don't want my forums to be inside any 'category' at all. I tried to avoid using any categories but it seemed impossible. Not a big deal but have I missed something?

thankyou.

You cannot avoid categories, the best you can do is stick everything into one category and modify front page not to display category entries.

I'm not 100% sure if I am going mad, or maybe the web browser / cookies (?) are confusing me, but I think my chosen catgeory setting of 'open' is being diplayed as 'collapsed'.
It seems it may be displayed differently with respect to whether the viewer is anonymous, standard user or admin.

As I say, I'm a little confused ... does anyone else find this in any particular browser? I mention browsers because my main one is Firefox which quite often catches me out regarding how it seems to cache / refresh a little differently to IE6.

Unfortunately I don't recall if this was the same before applying the patch referred to earlier in this thread.

many thanks.

PS
Are there any known Fudforum browser compatibility issues between IE6 and Firefox, for example?

The category collapse status is stored for registered users, so if let's say you collapsed a category, on your return visit the category would remain collapsed until you manually expand it.

ok thanks Ilia, I'll try to get used to it. Not a big deal.

btw I'm sure you haven't, but just checking you haven't forgotten about the text formatting things I mailed you about yesterday. Obviously you may well have been having a life, so no rush of course.
