Hi everyone!

To start off I'd like to say that I'm on the" layman user" end of the spectrum so I'd like to apologize if I say something completely stupid. Our company have been using LimeSurvey for quite a while now. We currently have two super important surveys running. We get a ton of calls every day that require immediate action so we really need the application to run fast and smoothly. This morning thee app looked completely different. Apparently there was a security update overnight. Now obviously the different look doesn't bother us but a lot of previously really well functioning features have disappeared. There is no separate search engine anymore (meaning the little magnifying glass that opened a new search tab:)) There are only search filters on top of each column. This would be fine but with the additional attributes they do not work at all! We had this problem before but didn't care much because we could use the separate search box. The "click in" editing of attributes doesn't work anymore either. I can still click on the "pencil" icon and edit in a new tab but the previous method was much faster. Our tech support team is kind of lost right now so if any of you have any suggestions we'd really appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

Who did the update? It looks like your limesurvey installation got an upgrade from LS 2.0X to the stable LS 2.5.
There is nothing you can do beside updating and reporting bugs or missing features. Or revert to the former version of LS.

Or you are just talking about the token screen.
There seems to be a change. Another posted a question about that issue here:

This user also posted a bug report. Might be your issue:

Another solution - I don't know if really recommended but at least working - is to install aside the 2.5 version a 2.06lts version sharing the same db.
You just have to edit the 2.06 application/config/version .php file to avoid the db update when login to the 2.06 admin:


Like this, you can still access (for several purposes) a rock solid LS version if needed, between 2.5 updates... Of course, until the day when this unexpected db compatibility will end.

I use this trick since 2 months without facing any evident issue.

I don't see any potential issue when using a 2.06 on a 2.50 DB.
