Need help with Phpbb forum

Discussion in 'phpBB' started by superrichguy, Nov 19, 2010.

    I have a forum that I cant fix. It has a database issue and I want to just scrap it and put the members on a new blank forum. How would I go about doing this? I dont want them all to have to re-register. I would also like to keep the main layout of the forum.

    When someone is making a new post, it wont make a new one, it just adds it as a reply on a 1 year old post.
    Right now I have it so its not posting at all.
    If anyone can fix I can pay a little.
    Thanks
    (its adult related site)

    Whats the database issue? I can give a hand but I'm going to need info.

    Did you do anything such as added mods to the forum?

    I switched servers and I have no access to the old server. And now like I said it wont make a new post, it will just make a reply to an old post.
    There are mods on the forum that worked before the transfer

    If you don't have access to the old server, there isn't anything you can do, unless you have a recent backup of the forum database. With that database, you can restore it on your new server. But aside from that, nothing you can do.
