Hello. :)

I upgraded our phpBB board to 3.0.6 and now the polls don't work. I get this message 'The submitted form was invalid. Try submitting again.' If I change to prosilver everything works ok. I tried using the latest version of BP but that didn't help and the page banners also disappeared. So I went back to the version of BP that was used when the board was created about 14 months ago.

Thanks for any help :)

PS the site is h**p://lazynutters.com/phpBB3/index.php

can someone pls move this to PhpBBxx

Did you upgrade also Black Pearl to latest version?

Can you try to refresh the template files again please?

Hi, thanks for putting me in the right place :oops:

Yes, I installed the latest Black Pearl, by renaming the old one and then uploading the new one, but it gave me problems so I went back. When I refreshed the template it also gave me ageneral error about opening some text file.

The phpBB forums gave me this advice:

as you have no MODs, try this

*NOTE: Before proceeding backup all files and the database.*

* Upload all new files from a download of the full version, except for config.php, the /images and /files folders.
* Go to yoursite.com/forumfolder/install/database_update.php
* Let that run and then delete the install folder.
* You now have a new up to date board containing all your users and posts but without any MODs that you might have had installed.

But as you might have guessed I'm a comlete noob with this stuff.

Thanks so far :)

Instructions seems to be quite clear, what are you not able to perform?

I'll give it a go. I just don't want to 'break' anything. A friend started the site and my over helpfull self has landed the job of looking after the forums. He gave me ftp access and stuff, so I guess I'll give it a try. Perhaps if I upload the fresh instal to a new directoy first I can prepare it all before using it.
