Please contact the MyBB Group for support.

Please help, i haven't a clue what the problem is, the first issue was with PHP 5.3 version that i found a path on this forums, but i don't know if it affects the merge script, like it did for me ?

Thanks,

Moved to Merge System support as it's about the Merge System...

It's a known issue: http://dev.mybboard.net/issues/498

For now, if you can downgrade PHP to 5.2.x it'll be OK.
