MySQL said:
You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `welcometext` BLOB NOT NULL' at line 2

[vLIMIT Sandman]

Execute them separately. I got the something.

Run:

ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `enablewelcome` smallint(6) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL

Then Run

ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `welcometext` BLOB NOT NULL

Great hack btw. Much like the ubb standard.

Whats the best way to reverse the sql queries? Just delete the tables they created?

[Chris M]

This is not caused by the MySQL Queries you ran...

This is due to an incorrect edit of admin/forum.php...

Replace the forum.php with the backed up one, and try again...
