Im not sure why, but whatever.

Everything seems to be working now, but who knows.

Any last advice? Things to check for etc? wink

If problem in FILE, upload backup FILE.

that's the rule of thumb

Ok problems:

My system board time is an hour behind. When people post at a certain time, it shows up as an hour beforehand in their thread.

In addition, my statistics hack say that the board was set up 1 day ago now. Actually, most of the stats are messed up now. frown Maybe I can manually set them?

Anyway to quick fix these?

Well, the stats hack takes the setup date from the CP.

If you board time is 1 hour off, it could be due to the offset (FudgedOffset) which is the pre TimeZone value that was in the CP.

vars_config.cgi, it's the cookie number.

copy that over from your old vars_config, along with the cache password.

cookie number will update how old the board is, cache password will tell it your hits etc

vars_time.cgi, there is a FudgedOffset value in there (I'm making the assumption that you are on 6.7.x). That will skew the values of your board.

If you are in a an earlier release that didn't stock timezones, then the value is adjustable via the CP, and I'm having a fuzzy moment remembering exactly where that is...

I got it and figured it out, thanks Ian. I just had the wrong cache numbers.

delete the ones you aren't using. (ie the ones that don't have the cache password you added to vars_config
