How can I thank you?

Oooh, I know, I'll send you a donation - only I can't find where to send it.

Lincoln's fix worked for me then. I'm not sure if it works in 2.0.18.8, but it's worth a go.

For 1) Download the button bar plugin (the one on here) and then edit the file buttonbar.php in the ButtonBar/views folder, commenting out or deleting the features you don't want to give your users.

Are you on a hosted plan?

This is the community support forum for self-hosted forums.

@Zhann

There is indeed a more efficient way to do this.

In phpMyAdmin run either

UPDATE gdn_userconversation uc, gdn_conversation c
   SET uc.CountReadMessages = c.CountMessages
 WHERE uc.ConversationID = c.ConversationID

or

UPDATE GDN_UserConversation uc, GDN_Conversation c
   SET uc.CountReadMessages = c.CountMessages
 WHERE uc.ConversationID = c.ConversationID

depending on how your tables are named.

This simply replaces the value in the CountReadMessages column with the value of the CountMessages column.

NOTE

This will mark all messages as 'read' for all users.
