Hi all,

I was having some difficulty upgrading myBB, so I wiped my /forums folder clean and started from scratch. Now, as soon as i go to /forums, I get this message:
MySQL error: 1054
Unknown column 'newpms' in 'field list'
Query: UPDATE mybb_users SET newpms='0' WHERE uid='6'

any idea how to fix this???
thanks in advance
Hmm, newpms isn't a default column in the users table. It's probably a plugin that isn't properly installed.

newpms was a field in MyBB 1.2.
Please check this thread: http://community.mybb.com/thread-38200.html
If you've deleted all files, then try to delete the database, and make another one. Then install the forum again.

Its most likely you didn't installed a plugin properly.
Sounds like you've got 1.2 files with a 1.6 database or something. When you say you 'started from scratch', what exactly did you do?? You clearly haven't started from scratch if you've still got a column from 1.2.
