Hey guys, a bit of a weird situation.
One of my admins tried copying an entire category and its board into the board of another category.. and the results were really weird. I'd expect it to just not work or give him an error, but it didn't. Apparently it "successfully" did the operation and now one of our boards is "broken".
Keep in mind I looked in the database and the threads of that board seem to still be there.

He tried copying the "Summer 2016 Giveaways" CATEGORY (not the board in it with the same name) into a hidden board.
Now the board looks like this:

Notice how the layout is all messed up? The board's name is now weird/smaller.. it's all sorts of strange.
If I look inside the board, it looks like this:

I see the sub boards of that board but I don't see the thread in the board itself..
I checked the database and the threads still exist, they're just not being displayed properly I guess? I don't really know what's going on.
If I click on this thread it says "Invalid forum"

Also, in the admin CP, the name is bolded for some reason..

He says that when it asked "Copy Forum Settings and Properties", he chose yes.
Any help much, much appreciated.
Thank you.
Turns out it was turned into a category.
Turned it into a forums and that fixed it.
