A long time member of mine keeps getting this error message when trying to change his

[Fungsten]

password.


I just tried to change my password, and I got this message
"The administrator has banned your email address. You will need to change your email address in order to continue. If you think this is done in error, please click here (wlmailhtml:{D0AD9924-42BA-444D-A8EE-B7453E25341B}mid://00000123/!x-usc:http://www.democraticwarrior.com/forum/sendmessage.php) to contact the administrator."

Huh?


Does anyone have a solution? Thanks.

Yes, make sure that you actually haven't banned his/her e-mail address accidentally by banning an entire domain or something.

Options -> User Banning Options -> Banned Email Addresses.

No it's not.


BTW, I've been asking this question. Is there a fix for this error message:



Database error in vBulletin 3.8.5:
Invalid SQL:

I'm getting it in the ACL index page. TIA.

Are you 100% sure his email address is not banned? Try to signup a new account using the same email provider.

The error message is most likely caused by a modification.

To troubleshoot this, please remove any hacks and disable your plugins, then see if you still have this problem.
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

If so, reupload all the original vB non-image files (except install.php). Make sure you upload these in ASCII format and overwrite the ones on the server.

I have tried to upload in ascii but the forum doesn't show up right.

I was able to register using the email address the user provided.

One question. I'm coming up with a lot of database errors. If I just try to upgrade to VB 4 will I still get those errors. Also, when I tried to re-install 3.8.5 the re-install stopped after I chose to upgrade; it said webpage cannot be found. So I don't know what would happen if I tried to upgrade to 4.0.

I don't know if upgrading would fix anything as it is still unclear what is the cause.
