Lost Categories

[directprint]

Just upgraded from VBulletin 3.7.2 to 3.7.3 and can no longer see the categories, can see Links Directory Statistics, Newest 5 Links and Random Links.

When I click on a view link details for a Newest Link I get a blank page.

Warning don't upgrade your forum to vbulletin 3.7.3 if your want to keep you links. I have tried everything, even restoring back-ups of the adv_links table, looks like vbulletin has made a change to effect vba links.

Here is a screen shot of what I have lost.

in the admin panel the categories are still there, this appears to be a permissions problem. I know there have been changes in vbulletin regarding user names and password, I wonder if this has effected this, not sure...

My guess would be that your category cache was somehow deleted during the upgrade. Try editing one of your categories through the Admin CP and save it to update the cache. If that doesn't help, also make sure that you have not customized your 'ADV_LINKS' or 'adv_links_categorybit_*' templates. If so, try reverting them.

I am still having problems...

It only happens when adding a category from the links page > My Stuff > Category Manager.

If I go back into the Admin CP, I then see the Category added. Then if I make a change and save, all the categories appear again.

The are no changes to them templates, however I reverted them just in case.

Not really sure how that could be possible, but if you would like to submit a support ticket via the Members' Area here I'll be glad to take a look at things for you.

Thanks Brian, I will add a support ticket.
