A bit complicated but I resolved it. I reverted back to the previous version and discovered to my surprise that all the texts were gone. So I reverted again back to version 1.3 and imported through SSH, and there MySQL a backup I had previously made. Even though the images didn't show up, they did after I reimported it.
The issue with the sysop rights remains though.
One question, in the database I can see that the usergroups the ug_group variable is set to varbinary(16)
NOW it has me assigned as sysop and bureaucrat, (all in lowercase) however I don't seem to have those rights. Trying to change it to Sysop and Bureaucrat will add trailing zeros, does anybody have any idea?
In your database is the ug_group variable also set to varbinary(16)? Since I have an inking that this is the cause of the trailing zeros. How can I change that?
