Can someone please help? I'm willing to pay if someone helps.
Here's what happened, I downloaded the latest version of the forum software to a folder called newforum, I installed that forum and connected to the already existing database using the same username, password etc.
The install was successful, I then realize my main page is the new installed forum. I panic, download the back ups I have of the forum, remove everything from the original directory, literally everything, reupload my forum back up and unzip it.
The problem is that I'm still seeing a blank forum, the database still exists, and i'm still connected to it, i just want to get all my posts and forums back. it was a really really stupid thing for me to do and I wish I hadn't done it. I don;t know what to do, if someone can help me I'll pay, it can't be that difficult can it?
I'm panicking now, please help.
