Luckily you made the backup - with PHPMyAdmin or some other database manager, upload your backup, and then run the upgrader.
Were your forums always at /Uploads/ though??
thats the way its always been the link
Right, well that's not the way I'd do it but it's not a problem being like that.
Upload the backup like I explained and you should be fine.
okay i am still :s could you please explain step by step what i have to do now
Ok.
First of, what database manager do you have?? PHPMyAdmin??
Brilliant, makes it easier for me
Go into that, and on the left, you should see a list, with your database in it.
Click that, and you should see a huge list of tables (probably starting with mybb_).
Go down to the bottom and click 'Check All'. Then, just to the right, in the drop down box, choose 'Drop'.
Then, back up at the top, click 'Import'. Browse for your backup file, and click ok. It will take a few minutes to upload so don't refresh your browser.
Then in your browser, visit ./install/upgrade.php. Select the version you were using when you made your backup, and then follow the steps, and you're done

Well that's impossible, that process deletes the tables in your database.
PM me your log in details to access PHPMyAdmin and email me your backup.
