I have lots of errors from admincp and i cannot get rid of them.
I decided to delete vbulletin and setup again but i want to get old messages/users/stills

Is this possible ?? (if is, how?)

What kind of errors are they? It may be easier to solve them then reinstall vBulletin.

If you are running a mod free board then you can just upload the correct version of vBulletin files to your web server.

The error is, i cannot edit Vbulletin Options sections in admincp.
When i am saving the option, it shows a login form and says "To continue this action, login using the admin account that intiated the action."

Pretty easy I would say if you still want to do it. Upload a fresh copy of vBulletin and use impex to transfer from your first vBulletin to thee next ;).

What version of vBulletin are you using currently?

Have you made any updates (like from 3.6.7 to 3.6.8) recently?

Are you running any modifications or installed any recently?

Was the error caused as soon as you upgraded? How did you upgrade?

What mods have you installed? I would recommend disabling them and seeing if you still get the error.

Well, maybe i upgraded with wrong way. I uploaded

vbulletin-style.xml
modlog.php
functions.php

And run /upgrade.php

Is that true ??

I am assuming it would be easiest just to delete all files and leave the database intact. Oh, and if you are trying to use the latest version, you still have to upload all files including those changed recently if you have upgraded from 3.6.7 You don't if you are just changing those with a vBulletin 3.6.8 installation.

You could try that. Also, list any installed addons.

Fresh copy/ New upload... Redownload vBulletin and reinstall.
