I'm back. I did some research around the forum. So fortunetly, I managed to come up with a theory on what is wrong with my board. I haven't actually updated. I'm running a 1.2.12 Version of MYBB on a 1.2.9 version DB. I would have thought they were compatible and this is probably where I went wrong.
So after finding this out I decided that the best thing to do would be to run the upgrade script (to update and sync the DB), which is what I did. But then it jsut took me where I started with. I got this huge error which I'm posting shortly, and then my board goes offline saying it isn't installed. That means I'll have to restart again. But I don't really get why I cant update. Here is the error:

Ok in response to the error let me tell you that the following files are with CHMOD 777 alreayd, even though the error says they aren't:
- config.php
- settings. php
Could I just get a general comment from someone from support plz? Maybe some instructions? I've been waiting for some full authentic supportive response for some good tiem now. XD
