Search function not working

[usmcveteran8152]

I messed this up. Was trying to add a pay pal donate button figuring I could add a HTML module. I was on the search results page when I was doing it and renamed the address when saving to /paypaldonate . As soon as I hit save it gave me error saying it was in some kind of loop. I went to the main forum page and tried to do it there and needless to say the button wasn't there and now whenever I try to do a search or use new topics button it brings me back to the main forum screen.

I have noticed that when I hit Forums button does not go to /forum anymore it goes to /search which instead of being the normal search result template looks like some kind of hybrid and not the normal page. Any help it getting it all back to normal would be very much appreciated.

This is being handled by Zachery in your ticket.

OK thank you

Any help would be appreciated, site is still not right and would like to fix ASAP.

Thanks

Zachery has your ticket, it's not a straightforward fix. He will get back to you when he has it sorted.
There's nothing we can do via the forums, it requires back-end access to resolve.

Can Zachery or someone give me a ballpark timetable on the ticket? Also would it be a bad idea to upgrade to latest version of vbulletin before it is fixed? Thanks.

I wouldn't touch the site in terms of upgrades until this is sorted, unless Zachery advises it.
As Zachery has mentioned in your ticket, this needs developer input. It's not a straightforward fix. On that basis it's impossible to put any sort of timescale on it, sorry.
