I destroyed my forum


I destroyed my forum lol. I uninstalled cmsVb and manually deleted files it did not get rid of and now my forum is all messed up any ideas? http//Agesofhistory.net/forum. I uploaded a back up copy of all my files still the same. So what I did was backed up the original forum files and renamed forum to something else, and now uploading the back up again to a newly created file forum in my html directory. If this dont work any ideas?:26:

the old back up I got running thankfully. But my avatars are not showing the last member that joined yesterday is missing lol, and all of yesterdays post...

After I removed vbcms all I was able to see was the forum like an archive version with no images just x's. I got it up finally but I believe everything else is lost. My template edits ect...

Are they lost for good, yesterdays members and posts? Or is their still a shot at recovering them?

If you don't have a database backup from yesterday, then yes unfortunately, those post and that member will be gone..

This is why it's always a good idea to get a backup " at least a database" before you start hacking your site.
