This is really a long shoot from my side but I can not just let my community fade away without trying to reach for help. Unfortunately I have reached "way's end" with XOOPS because I can not fix PHP-problems myself. There are three options for me:

1. Getting help from a dedicated Xoops-developer to clean up and fix all the serious bugs in my XOOPS 2.2.x-community.

2. Getting help to downgrade from XOOPS 2.2.x to 2.0.x because the downgrade script is not working for me and some important modules as the discussion board won't be downgraded.

3. Getting help from a skilled PHP-programmer to port my Xoops-community to Joomla. (Unlikely I suppose)

The site I am running is a Xoops-community in Swedish, dedicated to "the old ways/belief", i.e. norse mythology, folk lore and heathenry. It started around 2001 and has been up running with XOOPS since the beginning of 2004 and is pretty well known within the Swedish and Scandinavian heathen society. Among other things it contains a rather comprehensive textarchive/library, a discussion board that is a good source of knowledge to contemporary norse heathenry and folk lore, a norse folk lore and mythtology dictionary, a picture archive and a lot more.

The main problems with the community are:

- The Inbox/PM-function is missing completely since the unfortunate upgrade to v. 2.2.x.

- The admin pages are pretty unstable and Admin-Modules are very unstable and looks really odd.

- The whole site is pretty unstable: Recently the News module admin stopped working for no reason at all. Modules does'nt show up at all in the admin for installation or won't function as they should, even though they are developed for v. 2.2. The level/exp etc in the discussion boards suddenly was reseted for no obvious reason. Most modules runs with different small but annoying errors. And so on.

We are an informal community with no income at all so we can not pay more than a very symbolic amount of money (out of my own pocket). But it would be sad to bury this rather vast documentation of norse heathenry, mythology and folk lore without trying to do all things possible to save it. I have, among with lots of other members, put thousands of hours to get the community up running and creating all the content. I am rather close to give up though, since I can not fix the problems myself and especially since it is getting increasingly hard for me to develop the site with Xoops.

If anyone feel dedicated to this project, please let me know. I know it would be a lot of unpayed work so I have no expectations. But at least I have to try.

Ok so heres the thing, half of my site doesn;t work anymore. Let me explain what i did.

First i installed XOOPS stats and then installed uservisit. to make sure uservisit was working i went to the main page and starting clicking links one after the other about 4 or 5 times and then the next thing i know half the site stoped showing up, for example when ever i click on news archive it just brings up a wepage with a blank space between the columns. Does anyone know how i fix this?
