So I have a backup of my forum but my vista pannel is playing up so I;ve started a new user on the same host and I want to upload the backup to the new user. How do I do it, full instructions please.

These:
Quote:1. To restore a database, you click the SQL tab.
2. On the "SQL"-page , unclick the show query here again.
3. Browse to your backup of the database.
4. Click Go.
Dont work one bit. What do I browse? What do I type in?

You'll need to go into phpMyAdmin and choose your database from the list on the left. Then click Import from along the top, click the Browse button, find your database, and then click Go to import it. Don't refresh the page as it's importing.

If yours is set out differently or you can't see where these things are, you'll need to ask your host, this isn't really MyBB support and your host will be able to tell you how to use what they provide you better than us...
