Hi,
We had to move our website to a new
Server (which is still not live, we are still testing it before we
bring it live).

And as we are testing it we are not able to delete any posts. We are
only able to add them. I was wondering if you can tell me what to do to
make this feature function.

When we try to delete the post we get this error message:

SELECT tblThread.* FROM tblThread WHERE tblThread.Thread_ID =45;

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005'

Could not find server 'H167423' in sys.servers. Verify that the correct server name was specified. If necessary, execute the stored procedure sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sys.servers.

/GHN/forum/delete_post.asp, line 170

This error means that you have renamed the server after you installed SQL Server on it and have broken SQL Server.

If you do a search on MSDN for sp_addlinkedserver it should tell you how to add the new server name to the SQL Server and get it functioning again.

If you don't have access to the server yourself it is something your web host needs to fix.
