It's a last resort... don't assume this will work for you. Not that I have doubts, but it's just flat out careless.

Thanks for sharing Mike. Hopefully this helps a few people.

I totally agree with both of you and the reason I bolded this in the guide above:

This is ONLY for those who upgraded without a backup in place and have SEVERE issues, please do not attempt this at home if that is not the case, MTV will not accept video submissions... ohh wait wrong thought however you get the idea, seriously.

I know from experience some simply do not read so if you are doing so now please re-read the article above and ONLY attempt this if you had no backup whatsoever AND you fear not having your forums active and open will hinder you in a personal or business perspective etc AS a possible new version could solve your dilemma you might just need time on your side.

Edit: Actually I'm going to take the joking out and reword it with our quotes so everyone is very clear on this

Mike
