No text in news

[Chuckie]

I believe I am having an isolated problem. I upgraded for vb2.3 to vb3.01. I have a test site I have been playing with http://www.midweeknews.com/vba/index.php with new portals.
Yours seems to be what I am looking for.

My issue is that there is no text in the news topics. I have made 2 modules per the instructions and and the active yet they don't display either. I have made 2 new pages and the pages come up fine but the text from the threads is no displaying (No the pictures) and the modules don't show up on these pages either.

maysbbs=local
maysbbs=tech

are the 2 pages.

I have re-installed twice. Getting ready to trash the DB and try from scratch but figured I would ask a question here 1st.

Admin CP => Import & Maintance => Update Counters => Rebuild Thread Information.
That will fix your news posts. vB3 has a new column called "fistpostid" which is what this script uses to join the posts. I'm not sure why, but for some reason this field isn't updated when upgrading from vB2.
As for the modules, please be sure that they are active, enabled on that page, and that you have the correct name for the template (all templates should have the prefix "adv_portal_", but it's only necessary to enter the last part of the template name).

Updating counters fied the text issue. The module issue was fixed by removing the adv_portal_ in the template to call.

I worked on this for 2 days and all I had to do was ask. You will see a payment from me soon for a registed copy. Thanks for the time and speed.
