All that in that link, do I have to search that in that theme i am using only, and replace that in every part of the template what contains those lines ?

[OblivionMage]

Is there a way to reinstall VBulletin without losing thread data? The problems I'm encountering seem to be rather unique.

Cheers,

[tlwwolfseye]

Ok, i tried to find all those where according to the link, that line was missing. I did add that there.

Now he can login fine with no problem, but when he tries the SEARCH in the Navbar and enteres something to search, he gets:

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

The Search for those missing lines didn't mention anything about the Search templates. And when I checked in those, the relavent line was already in there. What can I have missed ?

Read above. AdminCP > Users > Usergroup Manager

For me, it's the third to last set of options all the way at the bottom of said page.

Soe does this,

I've tried that already (as stated in my posts)

The chat box displays "entrez votre chat". How do I get this in english?

Basic, but try repairing your tables - 90% of the time, that clears things up.
