need help quick - a member problem (probably easy to solve)

[ryanc]

ok hi
id like to say beforehand that i greatly appreciate your help.
i used the search feature and couldnt find the exact answers i was looking for.


1. i just converted my xmb to vb. i converted all the members and they are able to log into their accounts. however, they are not allowed to post or do anything. i just want them to be able to post.

*couple of things relating to the member count
-- none of the converted members are listed anywhere in the usergroup manager.
-- none of the converted members appear on the memberlist.

Try editing one of the users in your:

Admin CP -> Users -> Search for Users

Find a user's account and edit their profile. Do they show as belonging to a usergroup? You need to edit the permissions for this usergroup in your:

Admin CP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager

Make sure the group has viewing and posting permissions. And make sure those permissions are not being overridden in your:

Admin CP -> Forums & Moderators -> Forum Permissions

thanks for the reply. i now have that sorted out.

i do however have another problem.

after converting my xmb all of the threads on the entire forum seem to be locked. how do i unlock them all at once?

First, make sure the forum is open to new posts in the Forum Manager. If it is, backup your database then run this query.

UPDATE thread SET open=1 WHERE forumid=x;

...with 'x' being the forumid of this forum.
