Unfortunately, Jet Li deleted the entire BoardMod section after his more than inglorious exit from YaBB. Unfortunately we can no longer access these mods. I support a lot of forums here in Germany and it's entirely possible that some people still have the old mods because they don't want to upgrade. I'll ask. However, I can't promise anything.

YaBB 2.6.12 also has some small errors when moving posts. I always do this directly on the server. However, this requires a lot of experience. As soon as I have an incident, I will inform Dandello and ask them to fix this error.

I is rookie...

It is possible that your server operator does not support PERL. Then a lot of manual work is required, if it is even possible.

Is that bug here or someplace else - and how did you get it?

After a conversion from 2.5.x to 2.6.12 I ended up with a somewhat garbled boardlist in Boards/forum.control. It appears that after manual fixing I got it to work except for the board icons which simply refuse to appear (only standard folder icon).
Creating a new board will give me all the necessary fields and create a new line in forum.control. But even clicking edit on that one shows me a boardscreen page with no fields to edit.
A rough guess is that something was changed concerning the icons. But since there's no error message and since I was unable to find the handling of the boardscreen action I'm totally lost about fixing this crucial editing function.

Hoping for any help from out there... thanks in advance.

Can I help you, I'll do an upgrade straight away. To do this I need admin rights and FTP access. Repairing YaBB forums is now standard practice for me.

This is not an error from the server. The server operator cannot help you with this.


Sorry it has taken me so long to get back.

I wasn’t aware that they had moved my forum to a different server.  Only noticed when emails stopped coming through.

After a month of back and forwards with the server admin people it has now been fixed although they are unable to tell me how.

Many thanks for the offer Pyragony but will not update yet as I like as it is.

Thanks again.

Working at night, I managed to install the module via a detour so that the mod also works under Debian 12. I won't give a description now, the work is very extensive and time-consuming. If you don't know your way around the server, you will have significant problems. If you still want to install the mod, please contact me.

I'm talking about images that are in the forum as file attachments.

Thank you for the clarification. Smiley

That's an entirely different issue that should have nothing to do with Google's coding to select a language. Wink
