(message tag whats the start of the SQL start with)



Also if I was not using that and went through all the mods because I really want to update a few to newer versions do I just re-install the mods after the upgrade of vb to 3.0.6 or do I have to upgrade each mod .. with the updates from the different version numbers to the latest version

The query for the message tag is this:

PHP Code:

INSERT INTO `".TABLE_PREFIX."setting` (varname, grouptitle, value, defaultvalue, optioncode, displayorder, advanced, volatile) VALUES ('messagetag', 'address', '', '', '', '35', '0', '1') 


I've set the volatile to 1, which normally means that vB is not touching this setting when upgrading, still every time I upgrade, this setting is gone. I've posted a bug report, but so far no answer.

Upgrading your vB should better be done off line, or on a test server. You should download the latest vB (that can be a very frequent operation these days), and upload it to your server. Run the upgrade script, so that your forum works with the latest release. Then, start applying your hacks, one by one. Install one and test it. Then move to the next. Always keep a backup of the latest working version of your files and of your database.
