My forum is corrupt again.
Symptoms as follows:
1: Hosting company said they were making unspecified changes.
2: Posts started running onto others. One post in a thread, rather than containing its body might contain the next three posts bodies.
3: I made a change in the admin section which killed everything. It looks like for some reason GLOBALS.php got truncated to 0 length. I attempted to recreate a GLOBALS.php file from a default install.
4: Running the consistency check meant I got an error on all pages the main index page version was "value passed to each not an array on line 220".
5: Running rebuild themes truncated index.php to 0 length.
Any clues as to the root cause?
Will a reinstall/upgrade be safe and keep existing posts?
Assuming my backup worked, but has some sync problems with message body locations in the files and in the DB how can I sync them? I don't think the forum consistency check checks that.
