ENASNI TILLER Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Is there a way to reset the board to factory defaults? Someone was changing things that shouldnt have been and now I cant figure out what he did. Quote
Deverill Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 What board is it you are trying to reset? It's not very nice to assume "one of the admins must of hit something"... there are probably many explanations for what is hindering you. In any regards, we would need more information to be able to answer your question. Quote

In any regards, we would need more information to be able to answer your question. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's a invision board. He wasnt refering to the admins here. It was one of our admins. The board works fine for me. But we have 4 admins and after I had everything working there were several changes made after mine. So it may be easier to just reset the board and have fewer admins.

ILLOGICAL Posted February 7, 2005 Author Posted February 7, 2005 yea not you guys one of our guys. we are relatively new to this , sorry lol. Quote
Deverill Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Ah, ok. Sorry I misunderstood what ya meant. I'm not much on invision boards so I'll let someone else who knows what they are talking about answer the specific question. Quote
Dark Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 I've never dealt with IPB best bet would be to start over fresh. If this was phpBB2 I could've helped more because I have more experience using it. Quote
TCH-Don Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 If you have any posts or members that you have to keep, goto cpanel > backup and click on Download a MySQL Database Backup click on the database, probably called invision or ivbd? Then in cpanel > scripts library > InvisionBoard look at Remove an existing Installation select and remove Then re-install and back to backup > Restore a MySQL Database browse to the database you downloaded, and you are set.

TCH-Bruce Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 If by reset you mean start over. You could delete the entire folder where the forum is installed. And then delete the database the forum uses. Now you would be back to square one. Moving for organization. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 I merged these two posts. Please do not double post, we read every thread posted. Also, please try to start a post in it's appropriate forum. Thank you. Quote
Dark Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Another idea would be to go to Invision's site and post on their boards. Quote
