MyBB Community Forums

So basically my forum is working OK now, but I have a little problem. If you observe the image I have uploaded below, you will see that I have two of every option in my general settings area. What have I done wrong? Have I uploaded a file twice? How do I rectify it?

Many thanks to those who can help.

Try changing a setting somewhere and see if that fixes your issue.

If not, you'll probably need to reconstruct your settings - post back if that's the case.

I think I need to reconstruct my settings, changing a setting didn't work at all.

I'm going to guess it's an issue with your settinggroups table.

Try the following:
1) Go into phpMyAdmin and rename your mybb_settinggroups table to something like mybb_settinggroups_backup (replace the "mybb_" prefix if necessary)
2) Run the following two queries in order:

CREATE TABLE `mybb_settinggroups` (
  `gid` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `name` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
  `title` varchar(220) NOT NULL default '',
  `description` text NOT NULL,
  `disporder` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
  `isdefault` char(3) NOT NULL default '',
  PRIMARY KEY  (`gid`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=21 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

INSERT INTO `mybb_settinggroups` (`gid`, `name`, `title`, `description`, `disporder`, `isdefault`) VALUES (1,'banning','Banning Options','',15,'yes'),
	(2,'onlineoffline','Board Online / Offline','These settings allow you to globally turn your forums online or offline, and allow you to specify a reason for turning them off.',1,'yes'),

	(20,'search','Search System','The various settings in this group allow you to make changes to the built in search mechanism for threads and posts in MyBB,',14,'yes');

3) Delete inc/settings.php

See if the above works.
