MyBB Support - Any Questions or Problems?

Queens · 04-07-2013, 01:43 AM

Hey there. Figured I'd make a thread for any of you guys needing help with your MyBB forum. I have been using MyBB for around 4-5 years, and I can fix about anything.

Just post your errors here and I'll get back to you Biggrin

As simple as I'd love to make it, it isn't that simple. I picked up a guide about it via the official MyBB forum, but that's just in this occasion.

CONCLUSION

Even after these lengthy modifications, post icons are still referenced in the database. That means if you reverted the modifications, post icons would go back to its place. So if you really want to delete post icons from the database, then you have to execute these SQL queries (in phpMyAdmin or a similar database manager) which will delete post icons from threads and posts:

PHP Code:
UPDATE `mybb_threads` SET `icon` = ''; 

PHP Code:
UPDATE `mybb_posts` SET `icon` = ''; 

Similarly, to delete post icons from private messages, execute this SQL query:

PHP Code:
UPDATE `mybb_privatemessages` SET `icon` = '';
