I want to reset my forum, all I want is the forums and settings saved and what not. I dont want the mods to keep installing themselves. why? because when I install a mod and try to remove it, it breaks the forum.
I just want to start clean. IS this even possible?
and your "full site backup" from your hosting control panel will be worthless if you need to restore your database or files etc.
those full site backups are only good for making a complete site restore on the exact same type of hosting setup that you already have. it would be all or nothing.
( there is usually a lot more to your site than just the bulletin board files/database.)
I am lost already... I thought is was gonna be easy. Automod is a failure at installing mods. I went to remove board3 portal and it caused errors. Is there anyone on the board that can personally do it for me at all? All I wanted was my forum to have linked accounts, easily changeable banners and a portal page. and it all went screwy. It's a roleplay forum. I wanted this to be easy and it was until i tried to uninstall something then it went spiralling from there. Filezilla and the instructions linked above, just overwhelm me. Setting up the forum and what not is fine for me to do, but this filezilla thing and manually coding stuff is complicated. I just want my forums and users and settings copied and nothing else....
