Hey guys
I tried upgrading our forums from 1.2.9 to 1.6 last week but I had some table prefix problems which have caused the forums not to load properly, is this a common problem? Do I need to do the upgrade step by step? 1.2.9 to 1.4 before jumping to 1.6?
Any help will be much appreciated

It's trying to read a wrong database table
example, instead of mybb_users its looking for mybb_mybb_users
I tried to remove the prefix (as an experiment) it solved that issue but then it created another issue
The mybb_mybb_users issue usually happens when using 1.2 plugins with 1.4/1.6. They are not compatible.

I see, thanks. What do you recommend us to do in this?

Not use 1.2 plugins?
Did you deactivate all plugins before upgrading?

No, I didnt have the time, I just did a quick one to see what happens, when it didnt work, I just restore the old forums and db.. So as long as I disable the 1.2 plugins, I can smoothly upgrade from 1.2 to 1.6?
thanks
It should work if the plugins are disabled.
Thanks guys I will give it a shot

Should be fine then. This is a pretty bug upgrade you're doing, you need to make sure there's no conflicting code running.
