I installed a fresh forum in a fresh dnn 3.1.1 to compare the differences. I found a few, for instance the missing blog files... maybe its a good idea to post which files can be deleted with no harm... for now i deleted everything with "Blog" in its name...

 

furthermore, i checked to see if there were any differences in the database. The structure was exactly the same, but the settings where quite different... especially when it comes to the skinsettings. I used the DotNetNuke Silver skin (i believe an early version by Nina), but that skin name is not available in the new version. So i edited the module settings table to point to the default DotNetNuke skin (especially the ForumSkin setting, but also the template settings).

 

That seems to have taken care of almost all of the problems (after a emptying the dnn cache of course)... however, the image path for the solpart menu points to .../forum/themes/[old skin name]/images/. I emptied the cache several times, but no success... where might that path be saved?

 

cheers,
