is their any way to get the thread back i have deactive my forum so no body can post yet

i have to get that thread back ( it was very important

If you delete the "first" post in the thread, you delete the whole thread.

You can't recover the thread unless you have a very recent database backup that you can restore.

i have a back up restore its from last week and i had 1.1.6 in that time when i backe it up can i restore that

Hi sajjad_h,

I can't really recommend anything other than to BACKUP YOUR EXISTING DATABASE and try restoring the old database.

For me (If the posts are that important) I would re-install 1.1.6 and restore your 1.1.6 database. Then upgrade again...

Things changed with v1.2.1 and it may be risky to try to combine old with new...

Please note: These are only suggestions.....

And "Please" wait until someone else comes along and gives you other solid opinions of the best way to recover the lost post's.

If you start trying to combine both versions... you may lose everything...

i was thinking about that is well but where can i download 1.1.6

Wait a little while... As you may be able to extract the post's from the 'old' Db and integrate them into the new database.

That is beyond me I'm afraid and would need someone with an understanding of both the old and new Db..

So just hang in there for a little while...

man whole my froum is stuffed up i need to restore it

Then you will have to wait for Admin to give you a path to v1.1.6 so that you can redo the whole process. It would no doubt be in the archives somewhere... v1.1.8, is but I can't find the post's relating to it... Maybe you want to try to find it

Here you go.. mybb_116.zip

Thanks Bas...

I couldn't find it anywhere...

But I'm going to d/l it and keep it somewhere in among all of the other MyBB stuff... Just in case.
