Hello Everyone,

A few years ago I had posted in the older CODEX board under a forgotten user name.  I recreated a new account yesterday and I would like to review update my older postings.

1) Is there a manner to review the older boards and recover my former user profile to transfer it to this one.  The postings I made were in reference to using a non YABB membership data base instead of the YABB membership data base.  I actually created a PERL library to handle the transactions.

2) I had found a few updates necessary to allow YABB to work on newer versions of PERL and a serious LINUX problem which causes YABB to fail abruptly without warning, this problem revolves around the old 'quota' Linux system command.  I ended up commenting out the quota references and dubbing in some code in the Admin/settings_Advanced.pl module.  I believe this is the cause of the crashes in at least one support request.

I hope this helps, and I wish everyone a great day.

Transferring data from an old account to a new one doesn't work well in YaBB. If you can find your old screen name, you could post a note about it so others can find your old posts.

In the meantime, please post your bug fixes so others can find and use them.

Dandello,

I did post the fixes on an inquiry in the bugs board, I'm trying to find the older CODEX board.  Has it been removed?
