Have fun

soooo don't keep us in suspense ;)

How did it go?????

Well i did a impex install.

My admins were banned as well but I fixed that no problem. I have to make sure that regular members can get their passwords changed but no one is online to use as a guinea pig as of right now.

Also, my member list only shows me and my other admin (who also has logged in). Did yours do this liz?

Wow this is hell. Not only were my administrators banned, every single member was. And I can't find for the life of me where I can just unban everyone at once instead of clicking 'lift ban' for every member.

I would ask at vbulletin.com. There may be a query you can run that will do this.

Yea I am sure there is a query for it.

I posted this on vbulletin.com but didn't get any answers all day, not sure if someone here might know the answer to this:


My main concern is I want my vB to be in the root directory of my site, which is where my SMF is now. Do I treat the import the same exact way as i did on this test run that i did to /vbtest/ folder just to the root directory? And if I do, do i delete all my smf files in my ftp before hand so things don't "clash"?

I didn't see an explanation for how to do that in the impex guide online, but I could have missed it.

Thanks in advance for any and all help

go to usergroups and look at registered users, read each option.. im 99% sure the usergroup will have it selected to be a banned usergroup. That should fix it...


admincp
usergroups
usergroup manager
registered
edit usergroup (go)
scroll down to Usergroup Options
last option is

This Usergroup is not a 'Banned' Group (Setting this to no will cause the group to be treated as a banned group, this will prevent the sending of email notifications, show a banned error message on the permission error pages and other unspecified behaviours.)

make sure that says YES

Im trying hard to come back n forth but have my kids home for 4 days as well, so if you need a hand just er email ( liz at 67-72chevytrucks dot com), or pm I see those quicker for whatever my lame reason is

Boards up and running (I have it turned off until I get it all set up).

One thing I can't find to change is where i can have the forum show all posts, and not remove the ones over 30 days old from the viewforum and things.

thats in forum manager, i think the main tab is called forums and moderators. then forum manager. There is a choice in there, under edit forums, on how each forum is shown default. (30 days, begining etc)
