Quick question. I know that this is not supported as per your downloads section.. However I just wanted to get clarification on something.

If I use the rebuildmems_61 will it obliterate all corrupted member files? And if so, will that in turn cause users who had corrupted member files, to have to re-register? I'm just curious as I found that we have 30 odd files that are corrupt including my own account.. any insight would help..

The "corrupt" profiles are moved into a directory before they are deleted.

You should examine all of the profiles it flags as corrupt before finishing the process.

This *IS* noted in the directions.

So if I go through this process and certain members are deleted, they'll have to re-register??

No profile -> not registered.



If their profile has been nuked, they will definately need to re-register.

It's possible to redo their profiles manually, but a pain in the keister..., then you'll have to make sure their email is listed correctly in the email.cgi file and the member profile listed correctly in the memberlist.cgi file. Yes, a hassle, and should only be done for your most favorite people in the whole wide world Still, may screw up the rest of your members profiles if you don't do it exact, so it's not recommended...

For some reason now after most of the corruption was removed I can now not get in to certain threads because a corrupt member number of 000005 was posting in the thread. How do I clean that out so I can at least prune those threads or moderate them???

I continue to get corruption ARGHH here is the current screen print:

Out of 144 members found, 141 were clean profiles. -1 profiles were placed in the Member Moderation Queue. 2 profiles were marked as invalid and have been moved into the noncgi/cache/temp/junk_profiles directory on your server. You should look at these files now.

Once you have examined the invalid profiles, please enter an administrator username and password to complete the rebuild:


What does it mean -1 profiles were placed in the Member Moderation Queue? And where is that queue? What folder?

Now I look at the corrupt member files:

It keeps continuously pointing out:

00000001.cgi
00000005.cgi
00000079.cgi
00000159.cgi
00000164.cgi

WHY? This sucks. I wish I could just completely rebuild my list properly with the member #'s. I am at a road block and pretty much stuck!

-1 is supposed to be a zero - tis a bug.

The moderation queue is an optional feature that allows you to accept or decline new registrations. Check out the registration settings area of your control panel.

Have you examined those member files? Do you see anything immediately wrong with them (i.e. they're totally blank?)
