Hi buddy,

Can you login to our forums again (details the same) and find out why people still cant register.

Its telling everyone: 'The username you entered has been disallowed or contains a disallowed word. Please choose a different name.'

Thanks.

Any problems hop on Ventrilo.

Graeme.

You're all set, you had an * in the "Disallow usernames" (ACP->Users and Groups->User Security->Disallow Usernames).

[graeme1701]

If you go to our Forums and go to the sections:

Americas Army etc it says 92 topics and over 700 posts. But when you go to it theres nothing there.

Have alook see for me.

[RMcGirr83]

Check the permissions for your groups in the ACP.

How do I do that Rich?

Or if you could that would be super.

Make it so that everyone can see everything but only admin (me) and members can see the Important Info Section.

Login details are the same.

I will send another $10 your way!

Cheers!

ACP->Forums->Forum Based Permissions->Groups Forum Permissions

PS I don't keep login stuff for forums once I am done doing what needed to be done.

[graeme1701]

Rich have you done it?

Cause now all the posts have vanished which isnt what we wanted. We needed all them to be saved.....

[graeme1701]

Saying that Ive had a change of heart,

Can you wipe all the Forums for me so that we can have a fresh start?

Keep all the sections just delete all members and topics/posts.

Ive backed up what I wanted to keep.

Delete the user groups also and have the default ones. Make me as the only admin though.

Any probs hop on Ventrilo or email me.

Thanks Rich.

$20 your way if its all working.

Graeme,

Please make sure that you change your password to your forum as well as to godaddy and the databases. Somehow your database got corrupted/changed which is why there were "missing posts" so I think that a disgruntled user may have gotten in that shouldn't have and we wouldn't want that to happen again.
