Hi, Folks - I've been a member a short time, have been only reading to this point, finding my way around. I think that maybe the move to a new server broke the links in this post? Or... maybe it is just due to newbie errors!

Hi Patti,

I'm pretty sure I know what the problem is but I don't think I can fix it! Sad

When I brought over the database from GoDaddy I simply backed up the database and used MySQL commands to read the backed-up version into the new HostUS database. I depended upon our new installation of MyBB, version 1.6.17, to create the table schema. Well... a better approach would have been to use PHPMyAdmin to 'export' the old database and then read it into the new database on HostUS using the PHPMyAdmin 'import' tool. We definitely lost some link information.

I couldn't use the PHPMyAdmin export tools on GoDaddy because our database is so huge. GoDaddy put in limitations that timeout if things take too long. I bumped into that wall with PHPMyAdmin on GoDaddy so I had to resort to the back-up approach.

I'm afraid it is what it is; blame it on GoDaddy!

On last thing. I don't know if any of you have noticed that we lost our Google Custom Search tool bar? When I deleted my gmail account we lost this feature. I'll have to create a fictitious account to get the search tool back. Stay tuned! Smile
