Oops. ^_^;; I'll fix that in a moment.

Edit: Fixed.

You do need to update the datastore too Mr Shining Arcanine, silly pokemon

Sorry to be stupid but where do you enter debug mode?

Doesn't that update itself?

Nope, someone must actualy force it to update, or run a query to update it.

The datastore will only be updated if you save that part of it

So after running that query you would need to go into the ACP and save your settings.

After spending an hour looking over vBulletin's source code (for the first time). I found out exactly why you didn't just post a list of queries... the datastore contains a serialized version of $vboptions. :disappointed: As they say, live and learn.

I just did the fulltext upgrade and then went to Update Counters and cleared the search index as it's no longer needed. Is that all I have to do or do I have to do something else to get rid of the old search index?

There is also the word table.
