3dfly - Ok, here's the best way I can tell you to upgrade from 2.0 w/o switching the templates style. Download v3.1 and upload the myvbindex.php file over your old one. Then download the update.php file from
this post. That post tells exactly what that upgrade script does, so read it carefully before continuing. And lastly, you can download the 3.0 redme file from
here (by the way, that file has a php extension since I couldn't upload a html file here, so just open it with your browser as you normally would). At the bottom of that file, it will give you a list of templates you need to edit. Make those changes, and then check the bottom of the 3.1 readme file for one last template change you will need to make and that should be it. It really shouldn't be too hard and still shouldn't take more than a few minutes, but if you have any problems/questions let me know. Oh, you will also NOT need to run the upgrade script that comes with 3.1 as the alternate upgrade script will make the necessary changes for you.
cbwadmin - In the url to your avatar it has your forum url twice, so I'm guessing you have the "Path to image" for your avatar set to the full url to your site. You should be able to fix that by opening your myvbindex.php file and looking for this line:
$newsavatarurl = "$bburl/$news[avatarpath]";
Remove the $bburl in that line and it should fix the problem. Alternatly you could edit your avatar's path's and remove the
http://yoursite.com/ from them, but I figured the above fix would be easier. And if that doesn't correct the problem let me know and I will be sure to find something that will.
