  • Backup restore coming sometime...

    I've forgotten most of how to do this, so it'll be awhile until I've got this all sorted out. It's safe to post in here, as evrything will have different post and topic ids...

    If anything, make sure you bring back my sticky, cause I had everything worded the way I wanted it, and don't wanna do it again. And the followup comments were useful as well.

      I could very easily extract all the text from the posts, except that might end up being much more work than sorting out the import method.

      This is of no use, but this is what I'm trying to do:

      Remove everything except the contents of Retro Hacking (forum #5) from the backup. Then, increment the post and topic IDs so they don't conflict with any possible current data. And then just copy all of that into this phpbb installation... Oh yeah, I'll also need to change all of the forum IDs from 5 to whatever this new version is using. I'm going to take another stab at it now... And I'll at least get it all up online, even if it ends up using gshibb.

        You know, for the fiftieth time the thought occurs to me that we would be up a fucking creek without you, Liquid. You're gonna have such a big GSHI salary...heh.

          Okay, everything should be back to normal. Now if I could only fix the phpbb hacks I've been trying to install...

            I guess my sticky wasn't in the backup. I'll have to write it up again.

              Do you know the topic name, or have any exact text that was in it? Or, even better, the t=# from the url for it?
