There are quite a few problems with my board so I'd just like to clean it and start it on a fresh copy however I am unsure how to do this so if someone could explain it to me carefully to add me on skype that would be great!

Do you literally just put in your database information (on a fresh copy) and it with load all your forums, members, and posts? If not what do I do because the guide isn't all that helpful if it doesn't
ok, you need to backup your forums first! Then clean it and get a fresh copy of mybb. Install it and use merge system so you can merge your database that you backup with the database you use on the fresh mybb installation.

if you have any doubts on any step, you can send me PM.
