Before Ryan (who I already PM'ed) tries recovering stuff, I wanted to see if this would work.

Let's say I make a new MyBB install. Could I transfer the settings from the database to my "borked" forum, edit the paths to reflect what they should be, and it would fix my issue?

All that seems to be messed up is the settings in the AdminCP, everything else shows as expected.

Yes there are two tables:
mybb_settinggroups
mybb_settings

I suggest you drop the tables first, then import in the two tables from your new MyBB. Afterwards, you will need to recreate the inc/settings.php, if you can login to the ACP, just save any configuration page (Admin CP --> Configuration --> Settings --> any group) and inc/settings.php should automatically regenerate.

Before all this of course back up everything Smile
