Okay, so my old forum had lots of posts. It died.
However, I had a backup, of just the posts only.

I have uploaded all of the old posts to a table in the same table my current forum I'm in.

What I'm wanting is, an archive forum, something just like a regular forum.. however, this forum will point to the table that all of the old posts are in.

Is there ANY way possible to get these backup posts in a certain forum? Even if it needs subforums?

Please help!

Any von?

Bump?

Well, you need threads first.

So, assuming you do not mind every post in a single thread, create the thread in a forum, then run

"update post set threadid=newthreadid"

and then rebuild your forum counters.

Run that query will make all posts (including any already existing posts) on your board be assigned to a single thread, doubt that is what you want.

But when making a backup you should always backup the whole database, you can not restore just from a single table (you don't have the users that made those posts, not the threads or even the forums where they belong, and a lot more info missing).
