,not working. I tried to uninstall it, but see this error! Sad

Quote:MyBB has experienced an internal SQL error and cannot continue.

SQL Error:
1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ')' at line 1
Query:
DELETE FROM mybb_alert_setting_values WHERE setting_id IN ()

every one can help me about this? :s
please wait for the plugin coder to respond to your post at the plugin's thread
I have this issue with other plugins too. like newpoints! :?
Did you get any errors in deactivating or you direct uninstall it
when I click on uninstall, I see this. I can't uninstall it! Undecided
Try to deactivate first
I deactivated it first. I can deactivate it. I can't uninstall
I have two solutions for you.

Solution # 1 - Hard but guaranteed to work

Delete all the files that came with the plugin download manually from your server then manually drop all the tables in PHPMyAdmin that were added by the plugin.

Solution # 2 - Easy but might not work

Download all the plugin files from a fresh download of the plugin and reupload all those files so the fresh and untouched files overwrite the old ones then try to uninstall.
