How do I do this???
 

Hi,

On of my admins have by a mistake deleted some of my top posters in the forum, now they have signed up again, but how do I give them their old ID again, so they have all their post and PM's again?? I have tried by doing this in the mySQL database, but it don't help, please help me, it just says that the person haven't registrered yet, when I click their username, how do I do this??

Does anyone know how do run an automatically backup of the forum, or just the important things, like users, posts, threads, pm's and so...What should be backed up after you meaning, and how?? I can use cron at my webhost!!

1. you cannot do this, restore a user id to the previous one. when you add a user, vBulletin will add in TABLE [high]user[/high] a new [high]userid[/high] with [high]autoincrement[/high]. the old ID cannot be reassigned because of this function.

2. to do automatic backups, use a [high]cron[/high] function. contact your host provider for more information.

Canøt you help with setting up the cron??

your host must enable the cron function on your server. contact them. it's nothing i, you and anyone else here on this board can do for you if you do not contact your host.

i know that very few hosts will do this. a solution is to run your own server.
