I would like to add a block of new users to a forum by adding them to the DB manually, i can see that the Forum_Members table is the place however i can add the records but thy do not show in the forum. is there anything else i need to do to other tables thanks
Few questions... - Is this a stock forum, or have you made any changes? - What version of the forum are you running? - How are you adding the members? - Also, are you properly hashing the password? - And are you sure you set all the appropriate information in the fields correctly? - Lastly, if you're using an Access database, did you make sure the right copy got uploaded back to the server?
Hi it is a stock version, latest versiom 34 i think, downloaded last week. I am adding the members into the Forum_members table by adding new records. i have copied a default password i set for a default / dummy member into the password field so each member will have the same password to be changed at first logon. I have set all the other fields to the same values as the default / dummy member i have created. I am using access and i copied the new database up to the server and then changed the database name in the congif.asp file using wordpad.
the additonal members do not show up in the forum.
