Partial Database update?

[Fat Rat]

Whilst playing around with the search facility at v-strom.co.uk/smf the following error is returned. Is it possible that I am running with a partially updated database? If so, how to resolve please?

No... the database version is an incorrect error.,ignore it.

Just fix the collation

[Fat Rat]

Can you offer any help on fixing the collation?

Is your forum configured to use UTF-8 or not?

[Fat Rat]

I don't think so no, I have always been nervous of the  update because of the database size.

I was looking at the file versions today and saw this mismatch, is this likely to be causing trouble? I have downloaded the 2.015 language files but that doesn't seem to have addressed the mismatch.

index.english_british-utf8.php   2.0.10   2.0.14

I wouldn't worry about that part - but you have UTF-8 language files. The question... when you installed SMF, did you tell it to use UTF-8? Did you later convert afterwards?

Right now, there's two different ways data is being stored in the database, and we need to know which it *should* be to be able to get it there.

[Fat Rat]

I'm honestly not sure, the site has been up ten years and in that time was converted to SMF from phpBB3.

I have the option within the Admin panel to convert to UTF-8, would that suggest it hasn't  been converted already? Also, some UTF-8 language files appear to be there.

It might be partially converted.

Could you check your table collation in phpMyAdmin?
