Includes Deletion
 

I accidentally deleted my forums Include folder. Is there a way to gain that back and what's deleted in the process?

you can get it back by loading from a backup or askin your hosts to restore it from a backup, if not you need to download the package from vbulletin.com again and upload the includes folder changing the config.php before you do (as per install instructions). Again you'll have to ask your hosts to check the logs for deletions.

What alterations would I make to the config.php? By this deletion, did I lose anything from the forums that I cannot get back.

Is your forum still working? If so, then you didn't delete your whole /includes directory.

You didn't lose anything as long as you didn't do something to your database also.

You make the same alterations that you did when you set up your forum like the database username and password......etc

If your forums isn't working then you've lost nothing except potential posts or and mods or addon files that you added to it.

Ok, thank you both. This helped a lot!
