Take a look at this:

Restoring a thread - http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...1#post1845274:

Code:

INSERT INTO thread
(SELECT *
FROM thread7
WHERE threadid = 777)

Code:

INSERT INTO post
(SELECT *
FROM post7
WHERE threadid = 777)

DO NOT do this on your live site first!!!! Do it on a test site to see if it works. There is nothing above about restoring any attachments, so you will need to live without those (if they were stored in the database, then you may be able to write the queries for those). After you do it on a test site and verify everything works, then do a backup of your live site. Only after backing up your live site should you do this query there.
