Hi,

I was going to put all of the "Election 2008" posts into "Everything Else" as the 2008 election in the U.S. is over. However, while in the Admin Panel, I clicked Delete Forum and, well, guess what... All posts in the Election 2008 forum were deleted.

I have a backup from about 2 weeks ago, but I'm unsure on how to only import the Election 2008 forums and threads back and not everything else.

http://www.fergusforum.com/forum is the forum in question.

Does anybody know how to do this?
just upload the forums and threads u have in the backup
If you're using Notepad++, do a Find(CTRL+F) for "INSERT INTO mybb_posts" - and see what it comes back with. Once you find that part, you should be able to find the election 2008 things you're looking for. If not, PM me and I'll help you further.
