Hey all,

First off, GREAT PRODUCT.

I've been using ACCESS version on Brinkster (crazy slow) and just moved to GearHost because I love how fast THESE forums are.

This is what we did to move. First, I ran the update utility to make our 6.34(is that right) access database to the new 7. This seemed to work.

We then "upsized" the database. Then copied it into our blank SQL database on GearHost.

few major things:

1. When our users try to read posts, they get:
Sorry, only members with sufficient permission can access this page. (even when they are forum moderators. Only the admin account can seem to get into the posts and read them)

2. the front page says that all the forum sections have 0 posts. (not true)

Are there changes I need to make to the database before all this will work?

Thanks,

Rob

You may need to resetup forum permisisons and group permisisons in the admin area.

There is a resync post and topic count tool in the admin area.
