i guess you got it up and running with no probs. :)
everyone should be able to do this if they read all information available in the readmefirst file.

guys, please understand that this is a script not some little hack.
it requires attention to every single step.

Sportsbikeworld - I see that you have decided to drop vBPortal for vBHomeLite - enjoy the speed and reduction in server loads as your database queries drop to 10% of what it was before. :)

Ah, I tried to install but had some problems, resulting in some further problems in the forum, so I'm trying to uninstall and at least get a fresh start.

However during uninstallation it says,

"ERROR: The script reported errors during the uninstall.

Error number: 1054
Error description: Unknown column 'articleid' in 'field list'"

And the main forum page now says :

"Database error in vBulletin 2.2.8:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT thread.threadid,thread.title,thread.lastpost,threa d.replycount,thread.postusername,thread.postuserid ,
thread.lastposter,thread.dateline,articlepost.page text as pagetext


FROM thread
LEFT JOIN post AS articlepost ON (articlepost.postid=thread.articleid)

WHERE thread.forumid=1 AND thread.visible=1 AND thread.open<>10
ORDER BY thread.dateline DESC LIMIT 10

mysql error: Unknown column 'thread.articleid' in 'on clause'

I edited newthread and I'm pretty sure everything else back to its original state, so what is causing this?

first, you replaced the forums index.php with the vbhome index.php that's why you get those errors when you go to forums default home. one more time, that's because you didnt read the readmefirst file.

about the uninstall, there is a link on the first post, where it's explaining why you have this kind of problems and how to fix it:

woodie had the same prob like you and after following my instructions and taking the time to read the readmefirst file, here it is his answer:

Installation Tips - ARE YOU READING THIS?
I have provided support to those that have had problems, that insisted that they did indeed read the help file, when in fact they did not, because when I went through the steps with them, they realised they missed something, ALWAYS.

Support will only be given to those that have thoroughly read the [high]readmefirst.htm[/high] file included with the script.
All of your questions are specifically answered in this file. If you continue to have problems, it's because:

A. You did not read the included help file.
When you read it, take the time to read every line of it, not just what you like.

B. You edited the code incorrectly.
Mixing the "BELOW ADD" with "REPLACE WITH" expressions is inadmisible, that's english, not chinese.

C. You were in a rush to install this and missed a step.
Take a coffee or whatever you want and 30min of your free time and the script will install without a hinch.

D. All of the above.

TECK,

I have read most of the pages here, and even did a search for my next question and found nothing.

I have seen the questions about hiding private forums from the Latest Forum Discussions, but how do I make it so a certain non-private forum doesnt show up? Its a sub-forum that I do not want showing up in the Latest Forum Discussions. Any quick fixes I can do?

admin cp->forum permissions. make sure all your private forums are red.

Smoothie,

Your answer seems to be one to hide private forums, not sub forums that are NOT private forums.

-WoodiE

Yes, my mistake.
