problem is your database names are incorrect

you have one database
studi_cafe and then you have another thestudi_cafe

which one is correct, and where is the other one coming from?

If the databases are right, check your config.php for proper table prefix settings

Ok I looked at the upgrade to 3.0.7 (now that another is probably about to come out)

You need to run my 5->6 fix, and then fix your templates and make sure they are setup how you want. I ran into an instance of my navbar template being reset.

I only have one database 'thestudi_cafe'. I have no idea where the other one is showing up from. That was a typo in my original email that I just saw and fixed. To recap...one database (thestudi_cafe) which contains 'vb_quotes' field. Thanks for your help.

I checked the config.php setup and it was all correct. The database prefix was correctly set as 'vb_'. I don't know what the problem could be.

that leads me to believe that you should redownload and install the quotes.php file

I redownloaded the quotes.php file and replaced in the forum root folder. Same problem, no change.

The problem appears to be that 'quotes' is trying to access a table called 'quotes' in the database 'thestudi_cafe' and there isn't one because the table is called 'vb_quotes', as the 'vb_' prefix is used on all my MySQL tables for the forum. So where in the program is the path information for the tables that be missing the database prefix?

I am a novice at this stuff but I think you can see by my sites that I've figured out how to implement the modifications you guys that are much more experienced and intelligent than I have come up with (for which I am very grateful!). So I don't think I've screwed something in the installation as I've followed the instructions to the 't'.

Thanks for your help in finding this. I really want to get this working for my members.

this script doesn't explicitly define the table prefix in the code. it reads the prefix from your config file. Best bet is to go replace all the 'TABLE_PREFIX' with what your table prefix really is. Not sure how else to help you on the table prefix error.

I just tried that and it still doesn't work. How can I uninstall the whole system? I'm getting database errors from visitors trying to click on the "submit post to the quotes database." Thanks.

I'm getting the same error as ncangler :(
