Yep, I was dumb enough to delete a forum I wanted. Thankfully, it was a minor forum with just a few threads on it. However, I would still like to get those threads back if I could. I am doubtful that I can, but do you guys know if there is anyway to get those threads back? Thanks

If you had a forum backup of the database, you could restore the database and, thereby restore the inadvertantly deleted Threads. Without a recent backup, you are essentially out of luck.

OK, unless V-bulletin automatically backs it up, I don't think I have that.

It sounds like something I'll eventually want to invest in. I'm betting that you back your forum up. Do you set up some kind of separate database for that on MySQL or something?

Thanks

The only way to get all your information lost is to get a back up...There is no other way around...Just like formatting a cd..there is no turning back...

you can set up a cron job so it backs up automatically. that way you dont have to bother with it and it will take care of itself.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
