Please contact the MyBB Group for technical support.


What could the issue be?
The column "yahoo" is missing in database table mybb_users.
In MyBB 1.8.20 the contact field "yahoo" is still present and has been removed in MyBB 1.8.22.


Run the following MySQL query in phpMyAdmin:
ALTER TABLE `mybb_users` ADD COLUMN `yahoo` varchar(50) NOT NULL DEFAULT '' AFTER `icq`;
@Schnapsnase Yahoo Messenger is dead since 2018 (?)

better to update the board and the templates or modify the template which causes this error

Since the topic starter rules out an update and prefers to run a forum with various security gaps, you can't help him anyway

@Deki what does the error log tell you about your error from yesterday?

Haha, thank you so much. Didn't realize the issue was so simple to fix. Thank you so much for the help, and yes updating the templates is a must-do.
