Has nothing to do with it.

The hack does not modify nothing related your board functionality, shape or form, it simply displays what already exists built into vBulletin. In version 1.0.3 it emulated the Debug line you add into your config.php file. In 1.1.0 this option was removed and the old option was brought back, simply to display the Debug status.

Did you disabled all hacks? Disable the product manager completly, you need to start methodically.
When you upgraded, did you disabled all hacks as vBulletin requests (Enable Disable Plugin/Hook System)?
You will need to uninstall all hacks, not just disable them and make sure you upload all original files from vBulletin.

What hacks you have now installed?

At the moment no, but if i do disable them globally via config.php it takes away the debug mode.

Nope i did not disable all hacks. :o Didn;t know we had to.

Show me exacly how you do this (code insert).

Also, make me a favor, go to Admin CP:
vBulletin options > Plugin/Hook System > Enable Plugin/Hook System
Make sure this option is set to NO.

Let me know if you can manage to turn it off and the options are saved properly.

I disable the plug ins by finding <?php at the very top of config.php and adding this code after it::
And no i cant turn the system off in options as said above.:( Nor can i change forum names, forum display order, or even the parent forum. Basically nothing works at all in the admin cp.

Ok, we will force it to turn OFF.
Run this query:

[sql]UPDATE `setting` SET `value` = '0' WHERE `varname` = 'enablehooks';[/sql]
Value 0 is like selecting the No option.

I can already turn it off via the file edit above so is there a reason i need to do it via this query?:confused: I just can not disable it via the vbulletin options.

I am in the process of deleting some of my hacks. Even though I delete them they still function. The odd thing is there is no trace of them in the plugin table. I looked through the table, and see the hack, then delete the hack yet the hack still functions.

You shall disable template cache plugin

I already did that along time ago. It has made no difference.:(

Xplorer4x4, I think is best you start a new thread in the support area here at vBulletin.org, or even better, open a ticket to vb.com to have them restore everything default.
My hack has nothing to do with your current problems. :)

However, I will help you if you want, but into a new thread. In this way we don"t highjack the current thread. PM me the link.

I strongly recommend you to cantact VB Team, they have a set of toold to clean your board of all hacks in no time. Then, once everything works fine, start installing the hacks one by one and see what causes problems.

Also, make sure you always ask in the forums if you are not sure of something.
Look at the mess you are into. :)
Still, you have to relax, it's just code, you will not lose any data. It's just few annoyng steps you have to go through, that's all. See you on the other side of the thread. :)
