I never uninstalled it because I get a warning that all data will be deleted. So all I did was upgrade via FTP. I am going to PM you the phpmyadmin I use. For some reason I can't find the link to add another admin in PHP admin so I am going to give you my login. From what I can see, all data is still there. No worries about the delay because I know how it can be when you have to mod all day. Let me know if you need anything else from me. BTW your forum is a very good plugin because with all the SEO integration it got my keyphrase "dog grooming forum" to the #3 position nationally. So I rather stay with your guys.

Right - after a look at the database tables you have the following in place:

sfgroups        1
sfforums        0
sftopics        82
sfposts        321

So - I don't know how many groups you originally had but all of the forum records are deleted. So topics and posts are orphaned. How and why your forum records are deleted I have no knowledge or idea of of course. Certainly would not have been cuased by an upgrdae as there is no mechanism for doing so in upgrading.

If you have a database backup from before the loss of the forum records then we can probably rebuild them.

Hmmm last time I looked at it, it had data on that table. I am going to put the backup in a folder called oldbackup located in my root directory. Go ahead and use the cpanel login I gave you to access the FTP. You can overwrite all the tables because I did not add anything to the forum in a month do to the Wordpress exploit last month. Thanks for helping sir. :)

If you could zip that database up into a file and make it available for me to download so I can do this off-line it would be much easier, better and quicker for me...

Wordpress won't allow that file to be public. Here is the link though and I will PM you the password again. I really don't want the file public anyways. ftp://doggroominginhouston.com@doggroominginhouston.com/oldbackup

MyISAM? or hexadecimal for BLOB ? I have no idea if this doesn't help.
