Hey guys I was hit by something last week which filled my board with porn. I deleted it ok and set registering for all members. I accidentally deleted two messages though. I restored the two files from a backup into the messages folder (the txt file and the .view file). I can view the message now but cant edit it. Do you know how to fully restore a message please?
Thank you

Just I tried that. I chmod' both the .view and .txt files to 777 and i still get the error "Cannot load message number:  1168106643". Am I missing a file to edit perhaps?
Thanks

Thanks for your advice. Unfortunately this didnt work either. It's ok though, I have re-posted, will just have to update a few links on my site, but should be ok. My own fault for not looking what I was doing   Thanks again
