Topic: My Board is TOTALLY messed up!
September 2nd, 2004 04:42 PM
NurseDude I tried to change the background in my board settings and, afterward, I lost my control panel. I followed the link in the FAQs to get to my panel, but I get a message saying my username and password don't match when I try to log on. Now, on top of all that, NONE of my members can post!

I sent Peter a PM, but I don't know how often he checks in. Can anybody help me. What do I do to get my control panel back and how can I make it so my members can post again?

This is my board: http://s2.excoboard.com/exco/index....hp?boardid=6608

NurseDude Okay.... I just tried the link I gave to my board and even that won't work!

What on earth happened to my board!

TK-7771 Q: My board got screwed up and the Control Panel link is gone. How do I access my CP?
A: The url for your control panel is http://excoboard.com/exco/control/ admin.php?boardid=your boardid . Get rid of the space between control/ and admin.php.

NurseDude I did that, TK-7771. That's when I got the message that my username and password didn't match after I tried to log on from there!

PaleRider I found what the error was in the link...
http://s2.excoboard.com/exco/index.php?boardid=6608
For your control panel it would be:
http://s2.excoboard.com/exco/control/admin.php?boardid=6608

About your username and password - have it sent back to your email... maybe there may be a clue there.

NurseDude Thanks, PaleRider. I can get into my control panel from the link you set up, but still no one can post.

I don't know where to go from here. How do I get the control panel back on my board and how do I fix the board so people can post?

NurseDude Hey! I fixed it!

I had placed a search box right below my board logo and that blocked all the functions of the board!

I have my on board control panel back and EVERYBODY can post again!

Thanks for your help, PaleRider! Couldn't have done it without your help getting back to the control panel!
