Rick..thank you but I'm having trouble. Just took the leap to upgrade from Classic and all went smoothly but my board will not let anyone but a registered user view the forum. All permissions are set properly. I installed 7.4 without a hitch and the classic import ran beautifully....just that Admin is the only one who can access the forum. visitors is set to "1" for "can see forum" and "can read topics". What's up?
I get this error when clickng on a link as an unregistered user:
Code
We encountered a problem. The reason reported was
Database error only visible to forum administrators
Please click back to return to the previous page.
Also, so many times I come to this forum and have to refresh a page by closing IE and re-opening it to get the links here to work. Is that a forum bug?
All I can say is when I upgraded to threads from classic that I had to manually go through every setting for permissions. And in all cases it was due to permission settings that were incorrect. You have User settings, Forum settings and group settings that need to be addressed. As far as here goes I think that your problem here may be an issue that the cache files have not updated yet.

But I'm having some issues with the posts. The IDs seems to have shifted in some way. I will research and post questions if I have some. Sohuld I post them in this thread or make a new one somewhere else?
my redirects are not working. I made the url changes in the .cgi and .php file provided for Classic. Thanks for all your hard work but I hope to get it working. We have such a busy crowd that will be using their bookmarks. all links to old post go to a "page can not be foudn" location.
WE have the latest php installed. I have the latest UBBClassic im redirecting from. i chose permanent redirect "301"
Looks to me that it might be a path problem. What is the original path to the classic site? What is the new path for Threads? What did you insert in the URL line on ultimatebb.cgi redirect script?

could it be site id as the importer did not indicate a site id:
Code
# site_id only needs to be changed if you've imported multiple forums. The importer
# will tell you what your site id needs to be changed to
$site_id = 1;
Your new location in the ultimatebb.cgi script should be $URL = "http://www.topkayaker.net/forum" The next setting for me on a windows server with my host I use: $redirect = 0 Site ID really only comes into play if you have multiple forum installations and should be 1
BTW this posting should really be moved to the proper forum

Anyways, Ruben is correct. At this point it's going to be best/easiest if a support ticket is opened with ftp info to the server so we can take a look.
