Full Version: phpBB3 Merge didn't merge thread subjects

I originally posted this in the installation help section. What it comes down to is that when the merge occurred the thread subjects didn' transfer and in myBB they are all blank in the database. In addition signatures didn't transfer and even though it said Avatars were merged I cannot find them in myBB.

Hello,

I just installed version 1.8.7 and used the merge system to bring in a phpbb3 system at https:/www.thebloodyclans.org/bbs
It appears to me something didn't install correctly even though there were no errors during either the install or merge. 2 things seem to be missing far as I can tell, there are no thread titles on the thread list except the post I made after everything was done. And at the bottom of the page where a user should be able to select their theme the menu is not there.
I don't see any errors in the apache logs.
Is it possible it is the https. The server is setup to force ssl connections.

I did another complete reinstall with https turned off with the same result.

After I added a few themes the menu option did start to appear at the bottom of the page but it doesn't include the default theme with multiple color choices.

During the merge it indicated it was merging in system avatars but they don't seem to be present anywhere.

Lastly user custom signatures didn't merge.
I believe I resolved it. The use of the e option in the preg_replace lines was deprecated back in the 5 series of php and completely removed in the 7 series causing no value to be returned. I removed the e from the function call right after the expression and the merge seems to have worked.

I have the exact issue as you did. Would you please let me know which file you edited?
