Well, dropping tables that are part of the installation wouldn't be a good idea now, would it?

Did you try clearing your cache after truncating the ban tables?

I just figured I'd give it a test to see if it would work LOL. But nothing.

I did clear everything with ATFcleaner and nope, still says "sorry guest you are banned" if I try to login with my info says the same thing...

xenovanis

Odd.. Can you see what's logged in the smf_log_bans table? Just sort by id from high to low.

Click browse to see the content. This is the structure ;)
"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

Kat9119

Hahaha, oopsy. Nope, if I try to click on that I get an X and can't see it

xenovanis

So, you see a message you're banned, yet no trigger is logged?

Can you see the latest errors added to the smf_log_errors board?
"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

Kat9119

Yup, I can see the latest. Just says the same thing, that "Sorry Guest, you are banned from using this forum!" and the localhost IP 127.0.0.1 and the session number

xenovanis

Hey, what's the table fc_bans doing? Anything in there perhaps?
"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

Kat9119

Can't browse that one so I'm not sure. But that should just be flashchat

Ok, so, I went into my live site. Browsed the ban triggers. Someone had banned the IP of the localhost and it was a migrated ban from yrs ago when we used phpBB. So I unbanned it. Exported the database again, and imported it and reran repair_settings.php

Most of it seems to be fine, except some small template issues which I have no idea why they'd look different...for example, I have the random quote mod installed, and the background color for it is wrong. Also, the whole forum should be in a table, and its not...these are the #1 reasons I wanted to have a local forum so I could test how mods would look being that its in a table and some mods don't work well with it.

So, I need to figure these things out. I figured maybe it had something to do with the theme settings. So I went into the admin panel for that, and switched everything to the localhost (thought repair settings should have done that) but it still didn't fix it. 

I was going to attach two pics, but now there are no options to do that...so maybe its not allowed now...weird

EDIT: Ok, all fixed! I had to go into Themes & Settings and click on "attempt to reset" thank you SO much for sticking with me and helping me out! Much much appreciated
