OK, someone suggested a crasy technique but maybe it could work.

I succesfully installed a local 2.5.2 on my Hard Drive.

What if

a) I take all the files from both forum and forum-data folders from my HD and move them to a new place on the remote server, then

b)change the globals.php to fit with the new folders and roots

c) copy the OLD tables (with the correct data, presuming they are in good shape and 2.5.2-formatted) to the new database

d) copy the files which contain the messages and user data from the old to the new forum folders, ( but NOT copying the templates files and forum structure files which seem to be corrupt.) Which files should I copy to achieve that ?

e) pray to unholy gods Twisted Evil

What are my odds for this brain transplant ? I have little hope that my admin changes the execution_time anytime soon and at least this procedure seems danger-free as long as I keep the original files. (ahem).
