can anyone help me fix my forum?
www.naruto.nextgeneration.net.au
i tried to manual edit the files, but then it got worse and worse
please help
i can provide log-in details and ftp server info
i need this site up and running ASAP
Looks like your language files are all incorrect. Download the install package again (of your correct SMF version of course) and copy the themes/default/language folder over the top of yours.
no, it's worse than that
can i provide you with the ftp info and the login and you can see for yourself
Well its almost impossible to fix the other problems without correct language files, so fix them first and then we can look at the other issues.
Also there's an edit button, use it ;)
how do i do the language files thingy?
http://naruto.nextgeneration.net.au/Themes/default/languages is where they should be.
As I said, download the install package and upload the language files to that location.
how do i download it and where do i download it from
how do i install it, because i can't access the pakage manager
Get it from here: http://www.simplemachines.org/download/
You don't need to install it. Download the package and unzip it on your computer. Then upload only those language files with FTP.
i just did that, it doesn't help
please help, i need this site up and running ASAP
I can't even access that site...
EDIT: Don't worry, it was my ISP's proxy that was causing the site to be inaccessible to me.
Try reuploading the whole Themes folder... That might fix it.
I'm getting 404 for http://naruto.nextgeneration.net.au/Themes/default/languages
So whatever you did, it wasn't uploading the language files.
okay, now it works, but part of the site is still stuffed up
oh yeah, can't find the edit button
i can't get the shop to load
i can't see some other mods
and i thing some of my images are missing

What parts aren't work now? If you create a test account and PM me the details I'll have a look at it for you.
Thanks for the password. Could you make it an admin account as well?
Exactly which parts aren't working?
it turns out that it's only effecting 1 theme
i can't see the shop button or the members map button
some of the mods aren't working
and the mod's name under profile isn't showing
and the shop mod in admin isn't working
and there's more to come
I don't know what you've done to your default theme, but lots of the images are missing. Do what daniel15 recommended, and upload the entire themes/default folder again.
That will remove your mods, so you will have to reinstall them.
Next time don't edit the default theme! :)
isn't there any other way to fix it?
i have quite a lot of mod to load up
If you know exactly what you changed you could just do the reverse, but I'm guessing you don't or else you would have done that already.
isn't there any other way of fixing it other than to uninstall all the mods then reinstalling each manually?
Actually, it's worse than that... if you just replace the Themes folder, you will loose the modsifications to your template files.... HOWEVER, all of the other modifications that the package made will still be there, so you will either have to re-apply each mod, manually into the themese that you want, or re-upload the whole board (Themes and Sources, specifically) and then reapply the mods in the package manager.
Please note that almost every mod will ONLY apply itself to the default theme... thing slike the shop mod and the member map will not add buttons to any other theme automatically... those mods will have to be applied manually...
Number one rule when doing things to your site: ALWAYS take a backup before making modifications!
And as I said before, it's not just the mods that are the problem, your whole default theme is in terrible shape.
can you help me fix it?

Have you done that yet?
emm, how do you do that?
i tried that last time and it totally stuffed the site up
that's why i ask before doing anything now
Download the 1.0.7 install package from the downloads page.
Uncompress it on your computer. If you don't have a zip program try 7-zip
Using FTP upload the theme/default folder and all of the files inside to the themes/default folder on your server. If you don't have a FTP program try filezilla.
why can't i copy the files from the one that is working --> default?
how do i use the shout box?
which is latest? 1.0.7 or 1.1?
Your default theme isn't working! That's why it need to be fixed.
1.1 is obviously later than 1.0.7, however 1.1 (RC2) is not yet completely stable. You can upgrade if you like. That might remove your troubles. Just remember to backup everything first.
Using the shoutbox depends on which shoutbox mod you installed.
okay, i fixed my site, but i decide to move my site to www.forum.nextgeneration.net.au and after a while, after loading the mods, i got this message
Table 'nextgene_smf4.smf_topics' doesn't exist

Your prefix is yabbse_ isn't it? How did you fix it if its asking for tables with smf_
what is yabbse?
is that the theme?
it's the classic ??? theme
Hmm never mind about yabbse, i was getting you confused with another topic.
Check in your database to see if the table smf_topics exists.
i had that, then it disappeared, then i used my sql backup to recreate it
some of my topic look bad, it goes 5 x screen width
can you check for me?
If you have phpmyadmin send me details over PM and I'll have a look for you.
