Database Error when changing Admin max number of pm's

[Lynne]

I always just add an x to the front of the file name to see if there will be any problems deleting it.

Good tip Lynne! I'll give that a blast.

could it be that? I'm wary of deleting it incase it's a valid file.

That looks like the file that is causing the db error. But before you delete it, make a backup of it for just in case.

Cheers borbole, I did as Lynne said and put an x at the front of the file name. As soon as I went to edit permissions it rebuilt the bit field and sorted the issue for me. Problem solved... well that one is anyway. :sl I've now deleted it.

Thanks for your help again.

[borbole]

Glad to hear that you got it solved.

That's what I like about this community, people such as yourselves offer help almost immediately to those such as myself who know nothing of coding etc.

Cheers again to the pair of you.

Actually, the best way to uninstall a mod cleanly is to have a backup of that mod somewhere on your HD. Then, just look in the mod for any files that were uploaded and find them on your site and delete them, after you have uninstalled the mod in the product manager. Then you are sure to get everything that might have been left behind.
