I've done something to my forum and it is beyond my skill to fix. :C Help!
Because I didn't want to cough up the dough to upgrade to 4, I'm still running on vB 3.8.x and today, I installed two new products to give my posters something to do. The first was a shop where posters could buy stuff with the points they earn through posting. The second, was an activity program where by posting and making threads you get points and you can set the amount of points someone gets for each action they do.
Before I installed them I looked to see if they were compatable with my version (since a lot of the people at vbulletin.org seem to have upgraded) and they were. I also read through to see if they were compatible with each other, which they seemed to be. 'Compatible with most other vB addons' and they're both from the same developer.
After installed 'activity' the forum no longer loads, but instead shows a blank page. Nothing. Not even the admincp loads. I've gone through and deleted both installations and every file associated with them. That didn't work. So I went through and using an ftp client I reuploaded all the files in the upload folder, hoping that they would replace any corrupted files that may be preventing the forum from being displayed. Nothing has worked so far, and I'm in that panic omfgwtfdididothistime?! mode.
If any one has any ideas for me I'd super duper appreciate it.
Edit: The shop worked fine and there were no problems with it, but as soon as I had uploaded the XML for the 'activity' everything stopped.
I even tried reinstalling it, but I'm afraid to remove the /forum subdirectory from the server and reupload everything that way, because I don't want to lose anything. I have a back up saved to my hdd, but I'm not sure how all that works.
Edit-2: I did submit a help ticket just in case no one here can help, but who knows how long it will take for a reply and I want to get this fixed soon.
