Hey, I posted a while ago about 7 posts up asking how to allow the answer to be in uppercase or lowercase. I am using the original  antispam mod posted by sirena at the start of this thread and not the modified one by MattF. Does anyone know how to allow uppercase and lowercase as the answer in the original mod?
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks

File: /home/drinking/public_html/drinkingsouls.co.uk/Forums/include/functions.php
Line: 125

PunBB reported: Unable to fetch guest information

Database reported: Table 'drinking_forums.users' doesn't exist (Errno: 1146)

Hey, thanks for your reply. I changed the db type and the error message has now gone.

Im now getting the message:


Error: Unable to fetch guest information

You can see that here: http://drinkingsouls.co.uk/Forums/


Im not sure what Ive done wrong. Im guessing that this is to do with the database right?. It seems that I can connect to the datatbase, just not the user.

Hey, is it possible to run the latest version of Punbb on php 4? I moved servers but my new host does not have php 5 and when I upload my forums and go to the homepage I get the message:

This PHP environment doesn't have Improved MySQL (mysqli) support built in. Improved MySQL support is required if you want to use a MySQL 4.1 (or later) database to run this forum. Consult the PHP documentation for further assistance.

I was told this message is shown because I dont have php 5 but in the requirements here on Punnbb.org it says it needs:

A webserver (preferably Apache).
PHP 4.1.0 or later (PHP 5 included).
MySQL 3.23.17 or later, PostgreSQL 7.0 or later or SQLite. (see details below).

Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks

Hey Im using this Mod and its worked great. I have one question though. How do I make it so that it accepts uppercase and lowercase because it would work with uppercase, for example if I put password, it would work, but not if I put Password. How can I make it so that it accepts either,
Thanks

Ummm, How do I do that?

I changed the cookie name and I think that it has worked, One member has said that they can now login.
Im not sure if this is the right thread for this but seen as you brought it up, do you know how to make my spambot prevention accept uppercase and lowercase?
Thanks for your help.

I dont think they can have, I had the Forum running for a long time on my old server and they had no problems with logging in at all and my URL is still the same, so if they had not blocked the cokies from my site then, then they cant have now?

I can login to their account, which is wierd as they cannot. Thats why I thought it must be a cookies issue, which it probably is.

Oh yeah, I know that it does not allow uppercase but I dont know how to make it allow uppercase and lowercase. I havnt really had time to sort that out yet because of the login problem.

Youger re directed? I can access it fine at http://www.drinkingsouls.co.uk/Forums/
I dont know why that could be

Help anyone? I rlly need to get this sorted. Is there a step to step guide of moving server anywhere?

Hey, one of my users turned Norton off and then tried to login and got the same problem. Any other ideas?

Im not sure if this is relevant but I installed a anti spam mod recently, could this be causing the problem in any way?

I dont think it can be, they have always been able to login at the old server.

A user said:

anytime I try with the password that I thought it was, it brings me back to the topics page say "you are not logged in" but any time I type in a password that I'm pretty sure it isn't, it just tells me that I have the wrong password.

So I dont think it is a cookies error? Do you think it is cookies?

My forum is at http://drinkingsouls.co.uk/Forums

Thanks

I believe they are using IE.

I dont know if this has any relevance but when moving my forum to the new server I dont think I ran install.php.

I just used the old config.php, I didnt instal it because when I instal it and then restore the database it says it cant because the tables already exist. Do I need to install it properly? Is that why it dosnt work?

Hey, my cookie settings are:

[snip]


Thanks

Oh yeah, I see them. What do I need to change? The config file is the same one from my last server, I just uploaded it to my new server and change the database info. I didnt modify the cookies.

Hey, thanks for your reply. How would I do this? I thought that cookies may have somthing to do with it.

Hey, im having this problem too.

I backed up my old database, installed a new forum, ran install.php and then restored the database. All the posts and everything worked fine but some members have said they cannot login. I can login fine and some others can but some cannot.
One member who said they could not log in gave me their password and I found that I could login as them, although they cannot.

This is what happens when they try to login:

"Anytime I try with the password that I thought it was, it brings me back to the topics page saying "you are not logged in" but any time I type in a password that I'm pretty sure it isn't, it just tells me that I have the wrong password"

What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

Thanks,
Chris

Hey, I have been running a Punbb forum for about 3 months now and all has been good, (apart from the amount of spam, which I am yet to deal with), but I was wondering how to change a few things.

Firstly, when a topic is displayed and it says:

'Topic' by 'name'

Can the 'by name' part be moved into a fourth colum on the right next to where the 'Last Post' colum is?

Secondly, at the top of the page when a user is logged in, could the users current avatar be displated to the left of this?
Like on SMF forum, here is a screenshot of what I mean:

Thats all I can think of right now, any help with this would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
