Thank you very much - that resolved my issue. I actually had already changed the plugin setting entry but did not know about rebuilding the cache.

But I won't be testing my lack of php skills anytime in the immediate future. In fact, this seems like a good time to take backup. Thanks again.

And since we are doing a "Things it would be useful for vBulletin to provide" list: 1) allow the storing of an SQL query in under Maintenance -> Execute SQL Query like MS SQL Server allows the creation of stored procedures, and maybe an extension of that like canned queries like "Queries that Could Save Your Butt in an Emergency".

I'm really not as incompetent as I seem most of the time, I've actually been a DBA for around 25 years. I've written a dozen or so queries I use to help manage my website, most of them in order to control duplicate users and user accounts. I bet many others have done the same - do we have a Knowledge Corner or Repository where everyone can pool these resources?
