Snag a thread from another db

[Chicken]

OK well, there's one (very good) thread which seems to be missing. My plan is to try to restore some of the backup dbs on dev.HHO and see if I can find the latest version, if at all.

Assuming I can find a backup with the thread in it, I assume it is possible to somehow move that thread's info and insert it into the current db. In theory. Anyone have any knowledge of this?

It's possible..I've done it with phpBB, but it's alot of work...making sure poster_id's match, the thread number matches. etc...otherwise the poster's information could be all wrong...

You could do what NukeCops did when they put the old phpNuke forums on their site. Changed ALL of the poster info to one user, and made the forums browsable only. And kept it completely seperate from their forums.

Well if you have phpmyadmin you could drop that data only and then re-insert it into the new database, possibly
