Well today I noticed that the Forum was no longer responsive, so I went to my website cPanel, and not seeing anything obvious, I thought I might solve the problem by uploading the software and re-installing it. At least that was the plan! My intuition told me to make a backup, but I ignored her since I thought I knew what I was doing. I uploaded the software and extracted it... That was when disaster struck! I had a ton of files that I didn't know what to do with and the forum was down.
Not having a backup, and not wanting to re-install the software and start all over again, I emailed my website support and they re-installed a backup for the sum of $63.00. I figured that was cheaper and less frustrating than spending hours organizing the Forum, not to mention, having to remember all the posts that are presently on it. So now I have a back up and I have to figure out (cautiously) why the SMF mobile mod theme isn't working.
