Maintenance AFTER moved to a new Webserver Hello, first I want to thank all developers for keeping Phorum alive. We (a Works Council) are using it since nearly 20 years. Due to the many helpful post here I was able to install the 5.3-Version of Phorum and transfer all (!) old messages / attachments / user from 5.1.25 to 5.3-dev and running a up to date php version. The only thing I didn't manage was updating the message list, so the the name of the last poster is visible (See attached file). Is there a simple way to re-create the entry (no problem, if not, but would be nice). Best regards from Nürnberg, Peter https://www.phorum.org/support/read.php?61,162758,162758#msg-162758 Tue, 13 Oct 2026 05:52:59 -0500 Phorum 6.0.4 https://www.phorum.org/support/read.php?61,162758,162760#msg-162760 Re: Maintenance AFTER moved to a new Webserver https://www.phorum.org/support/read.php?61,162758,162760#msg-162760
runing some Database integrity checks solved the problem. "Rebuild thread info meta data" and "Rebuild display names" did it.

Just an info: "Rebuild search data" leads to an error message, but editing the command to

INSERT INTO forum_search (message_id, search_text, forum_id)
SELECT message_id, concat_ws(' | ',author, subject, body), forum_id
FROM forum_messages

helped.

Thank you for your support,
