Thanks for all your help and assistance guys. Thankfully after a bit of a battle my hosts found my backup db and reinstalled everything after their migration flunked it up. All good now. After all the stress, I think I will delay upgrading to v2.3 for the moment, but at least I now have the...

Correct, I figured they were copying my database across to a new database as all through the process both db's were there and visible and if need be I could just roll back to the old database - nope - I was wrong.

Hmmmm xf_post is still there but no xf tables after xf_searchindex if its alphabetical. So if it is xf_threads its gone.

Can you dm me the cost of helping?

Sadly Justin who had a look earlier said this 'Well that database is of no use as it is missing Users information completely'.

And Im still waiting for them to reply. So in the interim if I wish to reinstall my forum what is the best way to go about a fresh install that could use the same url as the old one?

I will see what they come back with and then decide.

If the worst case scenario is that it is flummoxed how easy is it to just run a new install of xenforo and start again from scratch with 2.3?

Yes I have asked that question as it appears they deleted the old db after the migration when they should have left it.

Yeah JustinHawk has had a look and the db now is virtually useless as the migration has not carried over any of my user tables either. What a screw up.

No... my forum page just throws up Unexpected Error.

Yeah I pretty much figured it was a migration issue. No idea why they say it is a software issue. Will check if they have a back up.

The rest of the tables seem to be there.

Ok so it appears I have mucked up and lost 12 years of forum work - this I guess is my last chance of trying to find a fix. Long story but here goes. I decided to upgrade to v2.3. Error pops up in admin I need Mysql8.0 - Im only running 5.7 I go to my server hosts - they can upgrade my...

I have had the same hosts sine 2010 and yeah have had a few hiccups along the way - thing is my forum isnt very big. All my other sites are working (powered by wordpress) its just Im getting a max user error on the 504 for my xenforo home nodes. If I log out I can whizz around like nobodies...
