Hi.

Is it possible to re-install mybb? I have got installed from 1.2 and after many upgrades by script i think that there is a mess in filesystem. How can i do it?
If you reinstall mybb that will delete everything.

What exactly are you trying to achieve?

Just run the installation script again...??

But yeah, as sjywalker said, you'd erase everything. What issues are you actually having, maybe we could solve those instead of just reinstalling...
Yesterday I have tried to convert database to UTF8 with script built-in in mybb. After that I saw, that all non-US letters (Polish in my case) are missing... And missing were all after the first polish letter in post/thread name...

I downloaded copy of database from myphpadmin and recovered. Now, instead of polish letters i have got question marks. Tried many options, but unfortunately.

Furthermore i had a mess with plugins, themes and I want to fresh install, and build everything from scratch.

Is it possible to move posts/users etc. from old copy to new one?
