Whew....I don't know that answer.

I had Vbulletion do the initial install and the upgrade.
I guess I need to ask them????

No, look in your config file at the lines I posted.

Here is what it says in my config.php

// ****** DATASTORE CACHE CONFIGURATION *****
// Here you can configure different methods for caching datastore items.
// vB_Datastore_Filecache - to use includes/datastore/datastore_cache.php
// vB_Datastore_APC - to use APC
// vB_Datastore_XCache - to use XCache
// vB_Datastore_Memcached - to use a Memcache server, more configuration below
// $config['Datastore']['class'] = 'vB_Datastore_Filecache';

OK, you are just using the database. Then I guess I would wonder if it's getting updated in the database. How long have you had the forum? You aren't maxed out in size in your database or anything, right?

Have you tried disabling your plugins to see if that makes a difference?

And, when you put text in there, are you using valid html? Have you tried just putting "Boo!" in there to see if that works? Maybe you have suhosin or mod_security enabled (you can look in Maintenance > Diagnostics > Problematic Webserver Modules to see) and that is causing the problem.

Sigh......

OK....disabled the plugins and tried....nothing happened

Ran the diagnostics....says everything is ok...see attached .jpg

Database should be fine as far as room.....but then again...I don't know how to check that stuff but I would guess there would be errors if it became full?

I get hundreds of posts a day....with no errors.

Typed "Boo".....and nothing changed .....

Like I said, I'm having other issues with getting things to work.

Check this thread ........ can't get the "What's Going On" to move either.

Something is weird and the install/update were done by the guys that wrote this software, you'd think they would do it correctly????

I don't know what else to suggest. I can't figure out why it won't work for you. I think it's probably time for you to put in a Support Ticket.

Yea, it's driving me nuts too.

Thank you for all your help and your time, it's very much appreciated.

I need to check to see if my datastore folder is chmod to 777

I can't do that from here so I'll check when I get home tonight and see.

--------------- Added [DATE]1229387984[/DATE] at [TIME]1229387984[/TIME] ---------------

The datastore folder was set to 775
I changed it to 777 .... do I need to change the files inside the folder, or just the folder?

Wonder why it was set at 775?

Just the folder.

Yea.....well that didn't fix the problem either.

Thanks for the reply.....any other ideas?

I have no idea why my setup is not working ...... just lucky I guess ;-)

You don't need to worry about the folder since you aren't using datastore.

Like I said, put in a Support Ticket and I'm sure they will figure it out for you.
