Hello Lawrence,

When you upgrade from an older version, only the files and folders will be updated on the site. The database still remains intact.

Thank you Mark. The good news is I did the update, which worked fine. The bad news is that all of the postings are now out of order. I need them to be ordered by when the original posting was done, not by when the reply was done. That is how it has always been on my site. How can I get this the postings arranged back in the proper order?

There is now two major problems since the update. In addition to what I already mentioned, nobody can post a reply or a new message. Hitting the "Submit" or "Reply" buttons do nothing.

This upgrade has been a nightmare. All settings from before are gone. The EasyDiscuss page on my website is broken. Nobody can reply or post to it. The order is all messed up. I need this fixed right away or I need the older version placed back on there, since EasyDiscuss version 3.2.9304 is apparently broken.

Hello Lawrence,

Sorry for late reply to this,
Regarding with your issues "The bad news is that all of the postings are now out of order. I need them to be ordered by when the original posting was done, not by when the reply was done"
>> Could you mind elaborate your question with more details and which post order you prefer?

Also, Is it possible provide us with your FTP access as well so we can help you check on this issues? Please advise.

As I mentioned in a reply above, the postings used to be ordered by their original posting date. That means, when a new topic is started, it is on top and slowly moves down the page as new topics are started. The replies to that topic do not move it. The only thing that matters is when the topic was first started.

Also in a post above, I gave you the access info to the website's back end.

Hello Lawrence,

The reason you getting the reply and submit button is not working is because you site missing the config.php file from JoomlaFolder/media/com_easydiscuss/config.php , i manually move the file in that location file, then the button work fine now.

I'm still not quite get your meaning of "when a new topic is started, it is on top and slowly moves down the page as new topics are started. The replies to that topic do not move it." ,
I have create a new discussion in your site, it seems like the latest discussion post always order by date, so the new discussion always locate the first post, when another new discussion publishing then it will take the first position. Am i missing something please let me know
Hmm, what do you mean by "The replies to that topic do not move it." ?

Thanks for your help so far. If you do a test reply to an older posting, you will see that whole topic/thread jump up to the top of the page. That is not correct, though. The topics need to be in the order they were started. I'm not sure how I could be any clearer about this.

Hello Lawrence,

Sorry for late reply to this,
I understand what you meaning now, actually that was set by default in the Easydiscuss behavior, so when the user reply the discussion post, it will sorting by the latest replied date and display on the top of the discussion post. If you really want to the sorting change to normal we can hack for you.

Yes. Please fix it for me.

That is perfect! Thank you for your help.

Hello Lawrence,

You're welcome.
