ok, well still no go I'm pretty lost as for what to do to restore my forum. I can do a fresh reinstall, but I'm not really willing to lose all my members, posts, or forum categories. I do have a ton of add-ons as well, but I suppose I can re-add them one by one. With vbulletin 3.5 coming out real soon, ( and the plugin system), that may not be an issue at all. So I guess my plan of attack currently is to just have about 75 angry people until 3.5 comes out, and possibly import the users/posts/categories/etc from the database into a fresh install of 3.5.

Do you think beta 3 is stable enough at this point to do something like that?

If it is, do you have any advice on how to import the things I have listed from the old 3.0.7 database into the 3.5 database, without importing the corrupted template settings?

One last question I guess:

if Beta 3 is stable enough, and I run it; will vbulletin 3.5 gold have an upgrade feature directly from beta3 to the stable version? Or will I have to do another complete reinstall?

Thanks for all your help guys.
