What the hell does this error mean???

Hi mate.. Still not sure why I can't sign in on the laptop @ home.. It has only happened in the last 2 days..

When I try and use the login section down the bottom of the forum index page I get an error message like this......

Error in obtaining userdata

DEBUG MODE

SQL Error : 1054 Unknown column 'user_login_tries' in 'field list'

SELECT user_id, username, user_password, user_active, user_level, user_login_tries, user_last_login_try FROM nuke_users WHERE username = 'rock_it'

Line : 70
Field : login.php
I just had to add it ......

That login area has never worked, you need to use the login area to the left of screen, under the gallery random pic.

Yeah have tried that section... But when I click log in, it takes me to the personal information page with limited information...

And it doesn't log me in... Grrrr this is the only forum shutting me out... WTF???

Hey guys,

I've tired of waiting for Nuke Korea to come backup & Im tired of all these sh*tty errors, so I've made the call & am going to upgrade the whole site to just plain phpBB 3.07

phpnuke is just no longer supported, not getting any more more patches etc & is becoming a security risk.

So what does this mean? Well its a fairly major change.

<li>The first thing I'll sort is the forum. Fortunately there are tools available to export this forum into the new one. I'll get all of it ready to go later today & possibly start the process tonight. We will have down time of about 2 hours. There will then be a number of small outages after that. The plan is not to loose any data mind you. All forum functions will remain the same or similar (including private messages) and we get a bunch more new options.

<li>We will loose the gallery. While not permenantly, I am changing its software as well. The current software is buggy & slow as hell. I'll be migrating it over to Coppermine. This will take me some time, possibly a few weeks.

<li>We will loose the downloads section. Unless there is an add on for phpBB (which there may well be) then I'll have to recode a page of plain html to keep this. I think its important that we do, but again, it will take time to create. Ie a few weeks I imagine. In the meantime I am happy to hand out the direct links to whatever is needed. All the files will remain on the server.

<li>The current theme will be lost. Once we are up & running on the new software, I'll search around for a new theme & add in the pics etc from this one to make it look as similar as possible.

So get whatever you need off the site today! Check your PM's if you are in the middle of transactions & finalise anything you need to.

And wish me luck!

So I take it you're starting now?

Good luck, you'll need it! :lol:

Meanwhile, yeah, you may as well do a coppermine install with linky and import, easiest way.

Might I sway you to go with phpbb with garage mod?

Can I suggest not trying to make it EXACTLY the same? Switch things up a little.

I think most people would agree that change is good, right?

I'm happy to upload the downloads section to torrents & leave them on to seed..

If we get a bunch of others seeding too then we could even have the Mitsubishi CAPS program on there as well

We're back :)

Some big changes you'll notice:

* All posting errors have been fixed
* Forum speed has almost doubled
* We have Youtube tags!!!
* We have the ability to upload pictures into threads (not yet turned on)
* The search index has been rebuilt. Search results will now go all the way back to 2002. You also dont need to use the word 'and' between your search requirements.

And a whole lot more! Have a look around & get familiar with the new functionality.

No doubt there will be a bunch of teething issues, just report them in here & I'll fix them as we go.
