The last part you said seems like the thing i must really do right now.

@ctvtec: The way you did is very error prone. I hope you have your backup for nyvtec.com . My suggestion is that:

You do some experiment on a test forum, which can be put in a folder, for example, nyvtec.com/test and do all testing stuffs there before you do real things to nyvtec.com.
If you do not have a backup for nyvtec.com (please recognize this is a very bad practice), you can also clone current modified nyvtec.com into something say, nyvtec.com/backup and try 'clean up' nyvtec.com/backup by removing users that you added from ctvtec.com
Before doing any 'JOINING' of these two sites that you intend to do, a safe move would be make sure the two sites have the same setup (vbulletin versions, addons, custom fields).

Hope this help.

Update:

Well I took a look at your two sites. Looks like you actually want to clone ctvtec.com into nyvtec.com where existing data of nyvtec.com is not important. If that is true, I would like to suggest that:

Backup nyvtec.com files and database.
Remove nyvtec.com live files and database
Copy everything from ctvtec.com to nyvtec.com to make it work as a duplicate.
Remove articles, photos and posts of nyvtec.com from its admincp
Update/Upgrade nyvtec.com to newer version if you want.

Does anyone else think there is any easier way of doing all this?
Another problem i have now is when members register, it brings them to a database error page

--------------- Added [DATE]1290938758[/DATE] at [TIME]1290938758[/TIME] ---------------

What if i upgrade my ctvtec.com to the version 3.8.6

Will i be able to do what i did to the database and have everything work? or will everything just still be the same???

If doing that will make it work, how do i upgrade the site
