Can I perform a restore ?

If you do a restore in the forum utilities, it should bring back the users back. Just choose the members and posts restore.

Note: Restoring the forum in this way will also bring back any deleted posts and such.

The above warning is from trying to sign into the wrong details too many times. It is a security feature to prevent hacking. I recommend waiting for the staff member who you pmed to help you before trying to login anymore.

I was finally able to get into the utilities .

I attempted to restore all the lost users . That used to work a few years ago . I remember using it . It restored them then .

But I'm afraid this time they are gone . My attempts have been futile .

This is actually very depressing . 289 users . Now 125 . I lost 164 in about 1 minute .

Seriously I was thinking I was removing them from a list . But I was deleting them entirely .

And I can't get them back . Not a trace of them . UGH .

Why does the restore users feature not work anymore ?

Scroll to the very bottom.

Please remember a backup/ restore of your forum can take up to 4 to 5 hours to fully install on your forum so please be patient.

First I attempted a fullback up .

I immediately got this error report .

OMG I just delete  200 users  Back_u11

So I then tried the messages and users . That seemed to take . But only lasted about 1 minute .

Tried that again . same results .

resynched it .

Remains 125 users . Still no sign of the 164 I lost . To equal 289 . 14 pages . Now 7 .

Basically I am screwed . The utilities don't work . I know there are no guarantees . But it worked before . Why not now ?

You only needed to do a members and post backup not a full backup.

If the problem still shows tomorrow then I will make a report for you.

Ok. Those accounts means that the members had not even logged in or their accounts were not activated.

No not true . They had originally activated their accounts . These accounts were not required to post . But likely were apt to visit periodically to get some information , read a memorial , etc .
There were friends that trusted that they had a safe account at my website forever . I blew that . It was a total space out that I didn't realize that I was deleting them .
I now have lost them . I have no record of who they were at all .
I suppose that by deleting them the way I did . That there is no recovery possible ? Correct ?
Inactive maybe . But still significant . And a huge mistake and loss on my part .
