Serious Forum Mess-Up

[Amaury]

This is actually regarding another forum I assist as an administrator, but I'm not sure if I can ask for support on it. However, it can't hurt to post and see.

The problem is this: it's seriously messed up. One of the co-owners removed some modifications when this happened.

Here's some info from our Skype chats if it helps:

[3:31:28 PM] Amaury: Also, what do you mean by root, Jaren?
[3:31:53 PM] AnonymousX: ftp
[3:34:04 PM | Edited 3:34:15 PM] Amaury: So you removed it in the server instead of uninstalling via Manage Products in the Admin CP and it messed the forum up?
[3:34:09 PM] AnonymousX: no
[3:34:14 PM] AnonymousX: i just uninstall
[3:34:20 PM] AnonymousX: pure_vb manager
[3:34:31 PM] AnonymousX: in manage products
[3:35:09 PM] AnonymousX: the modifications i removed in root is the hide hack files
[3:35:26 PM] Amaury: Ah.
[3:35:39 PM] Amaury: Was that hide hack not working?
[3:36:25 PM] AnonymousX: no use so jaren disable it
[3:37:23 PM] Amaury: Users weren't using it? Am I understanding that right?
[3:37:30 PM] AnonymousX: yep
[3:37:34 PM] Amaury: Ah, okay.
[3:37:36 PM] AnonymousX: not that important too
[3:37:44 PM] Amaury: So, how's progress in fixing the forum coming along?
[3:37:50 PM] AnonymousX: re-uploading the themes

[4:41:22 PM] Amaury: I don't think it's the styles.
[4:41:30 PM] Amaury: It's like that on the default, too.
[4:41:45 PM] AnonymousX: i didnt touch anything really except the hide hack files i removed and the pure vb themes i uninstall
[4:42:29 PM] Amaury: We could have Jaren take a look.
[4:42:39 PM] Amaury: I have no server work experience besides taking backups.
[4:42:45 PM] AnonymousX: i checked pure vb manager

[4:50:46 PM] AnonymousX: can u try to make a thread about it in vbulletin.com?
[5:03:03 PM] AnonymousX: ill be back in 30mins
[5:03:11 PM] AnonymousX: let me know
[5:03:36 PM] AnonymousX: if you find any issue or whats happening in our forum
[6:50:33 PM] AnonymousX: any news?
[6:52:09 PM] Amaury: Not sure if I can ask for help because my e-mail is attached to our owner's vBulletin. I don't know if it also needs to be on Jaren's. I PMed one of the staff, but haven't heard back. I guess I could go ahead and make a thread and see what happens. Give me a few minutes to create it.
