I found creating/deleting a test page, then try deleting the page again works.

Thanks for the help NovoCiv but I think I'm going to just drop this one. You tips didn't work for me and as this mod seems kinda dead, I could be chasing it for a while.

But again, thank you Novo.

Trouble with uninstalling and solution here:

They're missing several bits of information in the user table, not the least of which being their e-mail addresses (easily taken care of) and passwords (eh, semi-easily taken care of). Even when I populate the columns for password and e-mail, the user cannot log in. I checked and rechecked the hashing needed to create the password, including against a known-working account, my own. Still no dice. Any ideas?

On the left side, the collapse menu arrows aren't working. The URL of those images is:

How do I solve this issue?

404 with your link and the corrected

I understand the correct link, but how do I edit the URL to that location? What do you mean by 404? Many thanks.

I am having another issue. I have had a forum and a wiki separate for quite awhile. I just installed them plugin. How can a user signin to the wiki using their old account? It is possible they had different usernames on the wiki. Is there a way I can turnoff the single-signon feature but leave everything else the same?

I have run the init counters, but I am getting database errors similar to this:
Database error in vBulletin 4.0.6:

Invalid SQL:

UPDATE user SET
wikiedits = '0',
wikicreations = '0'
WHERE username = ''rio';

MySQL Error : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'rio'' at line 4

Given that it appears that this has been abandoned, which is unfortunate but is also the case with many of these wonderful mods (hopefully the coder is actually ok, not ill, etc.) could someone if possible come up with a SAFE way to properly uninstall this modification?

Given that vBulletin is now several versions beyond 4.07 it would be nice to be able to upgrade to the latest version. It appears the only solution to keep both vBulletin and MediaWiki up to date is to remove this mod.

If someone had the time to provide a brief tutorial it would be appreciated. I would normally reverse the installation procedure to do so and maybe that is the correct thing to do, but I am concerned for the integrity of my wiki, which now has an astronomical amount of data in it (yes it's backed up).

Thanks in advance.
