So I guess we loose all our modifactions and skins again?

I just upgraded to version prior to this and just got it all setup and now I'm guessing I get to do it all over again? Updates like this are evil. Course I am kidding - but augh.

Where can i change default encoding in admin CP? I have uft-8 and i want to change it to ise-8859-2.

Why? It's not a problem with new posts, and I can edit forum names without a problem, but will I ever get æøå back into 15 000 old posts?

You need to make sure the character set you were previously using in your previous language pack (set in the {language}.php file in inc/languages) is set for your current board.

Ok thx but i have one more problem. If i want to access ACP i got that message:

Quote:No valid administration session was found.

How to fix it?

Just login.. this is new in 1.2

Hi I used the patch but got a big fat white screen for both admin and the board online.
So I reverted back to 1.8.
I am trying to use the installer now on a new website to see if it works. So hopefully I will be able to put the database and changes I have made to the new one.
Any suggestions as to why I got a big fat white screen????
Cheers

You don't patch those files to upgrade.

You have download a new package of MyBB 1.2/1.2.1 and overwrite all your files except config.php & settings.php, and then you run /install/upgrade.php to upgrade to MyBB 1.2/1.2.1

The upgrade from MyBB 1.1.8 -> MyBB 1.2/1.2.1 is different from the upgrade last time, it does not consists of patching only.

Hi thanks I didn't do that I will try that. I did a new directory with the 1.2.1 and it works well except I need my info from 1.8
Will let you know how I go.

Thanks

Actually I use dreamweaver to ftp to my server.
I am a little scared to write over my whole board file with the new one as it might lose some of the things I have already done. Do I have to use the installer?
What I mean is I download the new 1.2 and upload it over the existing 1.8? If so the pages I have changed e.g. plugins, they will be written over.

Sorry had a fright with blank pages before re-installing the 1.8 so I am worried about having to do it all over again.....hours later....Shall try and let you know
Thanks

Yes, the modifications for the plugins will be overwrited if you are going to use MyBB 1.2/1.2.1

Most of the modifications and plugins for MyBB 1.x.x will not work for MyBB 1.2 and it needs to be updated to work with MyBB 1.2

You still have to use /install/upgrade.php to update your forum successfully.
