You've done an update lately?

If so, download the full pack, and unzip it. Upload the install/ and contrib/ directories only, and run www.yoursite.tld/phpBB2/install/update_to_latest.php

Then delete the install/ and contrib/ folders

Ok guys I got the forums back up, but now something really wierdo is going on. It seems that everything is fine, except the fact that all the members are gone. Not only that, something really wierd is going on. It seems when you go to the forum index, it says we have all the threads and posts still there, yet when you click on a forum -- it says no posts in the forum.

Your theme isn’t uploaded. Use the toolkit in my sign to restore it to subSilver.
When I suggest that you should alter your files, BACKUP them BEFORE.

Your next problem:

You didn’t a complete restore, or your backup is corrupt.

Search for all these in your backup:

Code: Select all

phpbb_auth_access
phpbb_banlist
phpbb_categories
phpbb_config
phpbb_confirm
phpbb_disallow
phpbb_forum_prune
phpbb_forums
phpbb_groups
phpbb_posts
phpbb_posts_text
phpbb_privmsgs
phpbb_privmsgs_text
phpbb_ranks
phpbb_search_results
phpbb_search_wordlist
phpbb_search_wordmatch
phpbb_sessions
phpbb_smilies
phpbb_themes
phpbb_themes_name
phpbb_topics
phpbb_topics_watch
phpbb_user_group
phpbb_users
phpbb_vote_desc
phpbb_vote_results
phpbb_vote_voters
phpbb_words
The prefix ‘phpbb’ could be something else in your backup. If you got them, your backup is probably correct. Report back.

Hi,

I am pretty sure I have all of those in my back up, although I did not read through it really, it is hard to read through. It's a bunch of clutter.

But I think I have all of those, any other ideas of why the users/threads/posts are not there anymore?

phpbb_confirm ----- NO

phpbb_smilies ------- NO

phpbb_user_group ------ NO
phpbb_users ------ NO
phpbb_vote_desc ------- NO

It doesn’t look good. Can you upload a backup to your site and PM me the URL?
