You will have a better chance for good answer...

Not thoughts......facts

1. Search on here for user "phppp", click the link to sourceforge.com (I think) which in in his sig.

2. Download the following from his site:

Frameworks 1.22
xoopseditors 1.21
CBB 3.08

Upload the Frameworks and xoopseditors as follows:

xoops_root/Frameworks <---it needs the capital "F")
xoops_root/class/xoopseditor

3. Delete the /modules/newbb folder from your server without deactivating or uninstalling it.

4. Upload the new /newbb folder from the CBB 3.08 download to the /modules direcory

5. Login as admin and refresh the newbb module.

This will give you a working installation of CBB 3.08 and will keep all your existing forums and posts.

HTH

Thanks stefan88, i made the backup and can go back anytime.

I upgraded the forums. Thanks John for the advice.
The forums is upgraded and there are quite some more features now.
The layout is not the same anymore as it was modified before but well that is a minor problem. What still does not work correctly, are attachments!
I thought the update would help. When I upload a 270kB jpeg, it is finally presented as 123kb attachment. When downloading it is of course not visible as jpeg. As the upload is not stored in the database i think, is it a php problem maybe? Any idea of what the problem is?

I will change the forums to allow text files. Maybe I can see on the uploaded textfile itself how it changed by the upload. The downloaded file itself seems to have the size noticed in the post so.

The second major problem I do have is still that when trying to invoke the Inbox, i am still getting a blank page. Is that something session specific as well maybe or a trick in a php file? John you helped me getting back into the admin panel, any idea how i can get the Inbox back to work?

omg, the Inbox works, but not for my account, only for other accounts. any idea why it is related to my account?

Could it be that the number of PMs i do have in my Inbox is to high? I do have more then 3200 PMs as far as I remmebr from the old forums.

I can read the messages of the Inbox when Using URLs like this

http://www.heathernova.net/readpmsg.php?start=3236

so only the Inbox overview is a problem with my account.



another note:
On the old server there was "Sentbox" and "Outbox" in so on. Isn't that available for XOOPS 2.0.18.1? Was it a newbb2 feature maybe? cbb is based on newbb1 or 2?

About the problem with attachments in a posting:

I uploaded a very small jpeg file of 15128 bytes. when I download, the file has a size of 15131 bytes.
In the uploads/newsbb folder it has the correct size this time. I anaylized the difference with a hex editor. In the beginning, there is a 0A 0A 0A in hex.
As the file is not stored in the database i guess there is something wrong in the XOOPS code maybe.
