Hello Xmb,

Like my fellow Xmb forum owner I'm now having trouble deleting board members... Also the "Submit Button" is a hit and miss...

Note: I can write a comment, then press the submit button, yet the comment never appears now...

This all starting happen once I updated the board... Yes installing XMB patches located here...

After which patch occurred this issue, exactly?

Before you modify any PHP file, you make a backup of course.
Could you please attach the backupped files and the files you have online now to a post here please?

Then we will figure this out. Thank you.

That would be hard Mouser... My webhost - installed all the patches for me...

Like I stated before I see another member is having the same problem... Yes not able to delete members sometimes... It's a hit and miss... I click on the submit button - works, then other times no go...

Note: Willing to pay someone - to fix this.... Know of anyone?

Just Replace the validate.inc.php by this on:
http://forums.xmbforum2.com/viewthread.php?tid=776874&go...

The problem is because some special characters, the new php change the htmlcharacters function.

Test this and give some feedback.

Thanks, and you sure this will correct the "Submit" button problem? And able to delete members without a problem?
:cool:

Still didn't work - when it comes to deleting members...
Click the "submit button" nothing...

Note: Only works if I choose 5-7 names to delete... If I choose 8 plus members, I click submit, it goes through - yet no members are deleted...

Curious at to why patching and not installing the latest version...

PoetryLover - 3-30-2014 at 04:08 PM

Latest version of what? :question:

1.9.11.13 would have all the patches.

PoetryLover - 3-30-2014 at 09:55 PM

Does it matter? All the updated patches are there now...
Like I stated before I see another member is having the same problem, yes not able to delete names, etc...

Feel me???

lottos - 3-31-2014 at 02:02 AM

Yes, it matters as:

- there could be a difference between the published patches and the download
- you may have made an error when installing
- the other member may have also used the patches and not the download

No, I don't feel you and don't intend to.

PoetryLover - 3-31-2014 at 02:06 AM

Webhost - uploaded the patches...

My board is flowing smoothly minus the "submit button" problem, and not being able to delete members sometimes...

PoetryLover - 3-31-2014 at 02:10 AM

Also I have the latest version of the board...

There might be differences between the patches and the download as the really obvious difference I can immediately see is the footer template - yours links to the defunct xmbforum whereas the download links correctly to this domain.

Up to you what you do, but if it were me, I'd download the zip file, upload it to a test folder and point it to your database then try the test folder forum to see if your issues still exist - and that way support people here would know as well. It's always appreciated if forum owners also put in some work to help determine where the issue is. But I'll stay out of this now and let someone else assist.
