Koalani, if you can see the threads when logged in as admin, check the permission settings on your boards. If you still can't see the threads, check your Security Log. From your admin panel, navigate: Admin Home> Security> Security LogYou will be have a record who deleted any posts or threads, there.

I did go to Security log and it looks like I deleted them, but of I didn´t. Can they be retrieved? All members have been deleted too.

This is Koalani under a different name. I tried to change my password so that my other forums don't get hacked and I must have messed up big time, since I can't access any forum any longer, no matter how many times I type in my passwords, old or new. Can you help me please?

Hi Unfortunately, i can only instruct you to try the password reset option again. Do you save the password to your browser, or do you manually type it in each time?

Hi Craig
It looks like a hacker was able to enter my forum and delete everything pretending to be me. Can the contents be retrieved? Isn´t saved somewhere?
I have tried the password reset option many times, but I still can't get in. In my global account I can't even see the forums any more. I changed the global account password, maybe that's the problem? Can someone have more than one global account? In the global account that I ended up erasing none of my forums was visible, only a forum I once participated in, not the one I'm an administator in.

Unfortunately, deleted content can not be restored i'm afraid. You can have more than one global account, but a forum account can only be attached to one global account. So if you are logged in to one global account, it will only show the forum accounts attached to that global account. So when you reset the password, and it doesn't work, could you run me by the stage you get to before you hit the problem, and include any error message you receive.

OK....
I tried to log into one of my forums with the latest password I set up and I got this message:
The account you are trying to link has already been upgraded or linked. Please login with your email address. You have successfully logged into your ProBoards global account.
Do you already have an account on geestinalles.freeforums.net? If so, enter your username and password below to link your forum account to your ProBoards global account. If not, you can create a new forum account.
I get this message no matter which password I try to type in. I try to log in as admin

So log out of your global account, then click log in and enter your other email address and password, and it should log you in.

Thanks. I did this yesterday, but I got no e-mail from Proboards and concluded that I hadn't used another e-mail address. I tried again after your suggestion and it turned out that that e-mail isn't working. It's linked to my website and I haven't received any e-mails for months. It does work when I e-mail myself but not when somebody else e-mails me. I asked my website developer to fix it, so I hope he will be able to and I will at least be able to access my non-deleted forums. In the meantime I found out who the hacker is, it's my old coworker who turned dark. So it was an inside job. When he comes to his senses he'll work on rebuilding my forum.
Thank you again. I'll let you know if I succeed in accessing my other forums.

Please note, account sharing is against ProBoards Terms of Service so if your former coworker is going to help out (though to be quite frank, i think that's unwise considering they've already committed a breach of trust here), they will need their own account with the appropriate permissions assigned to it via member groups. i would, if you go this route, suggest they not have access to deleting content (and deleting the forum itself is only tied to the creator's /user/1 account).

Μy webside developer fixed the problem with my e-mail address and I was able to access all my forums and change the password.
You have a point, Kami. I didn't know it was against the rules. This person was kidnapped, hypnotized and drawn into satanistic rituals, so he's totally out of his senses now (attacking old acquaintances, getting drunk, breaking things, etc) so by "coming to his senses" I meant a total, supervised change. If this happens, maybe I could let him work on my computer without him knowing my password of course. I don't know how I can do this, but one thing is for sure, I don't have the energy or the time to rebuild a 5 year old forum and I won't give him the credit of having the forum threads appear under his name, if he rebuilds it under his own account. Does anybody have some advice?
