Antechinus needs help logging in!

Hi, I'm posting on behalf of Antechinus. He can't remember his password for this forum and doesn't know which email account the password reset is going to. The email account may be defunct, too.

Is there anything you can do to help him for your side?

If you need something from him to be able to help, let me know.

He's trying to log in because he wants to upgrade our site to the latest version of Elkarte. We're pretty far behind the curve.

Also, fyi I tried to send Spuds or Ema a PM about this, and got a database error when I submitted it.

Thanks so much!

I pm'd Spuds a copy of your post, no error on my end..

I can't help you any more than that, sorry -  good luck at you both..

If that does not help (say that email is defunct), let me know and I'll reset his password and PM you the password.

Thanks for that!

Antechinus says it looks like he'll need a hand-crafted artisanal password change, unfortunately.

He also asks that you edit out the partial email address now that he knows for sure which one he used to set up his account, just to be safe.

eta Hi Spuds! Yes, he'd like a password reset.

Awesome
You seem to have some bugs here

I saw that and to be honest I was impressed.   I'll see if I can change that.

Yes 2.0 has a few bugs here and there, will get to working on them as some projects that have been holding me captive are "finishing"

1.1.9 was the last official release, although 1.1.10 was packaged, I just never released it.

ETA: I was able to change it, so prob just a permissions issue somewhere

Sounds like that might be it. All good now.

We're going to be updating an archived board that is way out of date. Would you recommend 1.1.10 for that?

I would recommend that https://github.com/elkarte/Elkarte/compare/development...patch_1-1-10

I do run that on a few sites so I know its stable on 8.2+

I recall it changed a bunch of items with theme.php so it may not play nice with a custom theme that has its own theme.php file, so best to set things to default and update and then do any theme fixes as needed.

I'll attach update and full install files that I basically found on my desktop, give these a whirl

No worries. I'll bring it up to 1.1.9 with an upgrade pack first, then take a look at how 1.1.10 goes. It's running the default theme anyway so shouldn't be an issue.

Oh yeah, we're thinking of moving the thing from tld to a directory of its own. I notice the existing repair_settings.php download is from 2014. Does it still work on 1.1.9?

If it's a bit long in the tooth I can always do settings manually.
