I was fiddling around on an exploritory expedition around the .dat files. finding out what does what...

I did something.. I can't remember what it was. I think i simply deleted the snid number which i guessed was session i.d.

Anyway..

The problem is now. I'm shown as 1 and guest on all my previous posts, i can no longer login because it doesn't accept my password. I know my password though..

The forgotten email function says email address not found.

I did try getting a new md5 encrypted password and pasting the key into the password field of my 1.dat file but it wouldn't accept that either.

I created a new user account. edited ranks2.txt to add that member to the admin group so i could try rebuilding members list. but that didn't fix me either...

As usual. Your help is very much appreciated!

Delete the account you created and restore your .dat List.txt list2.txt and Ranks2.txt from your last backup

Thanks for the reply. Is there anything else i can do other than the backup option? Because my last backup was around a week ago, and there have been members join since then. wouldn't replacing the list and list2 files with versions they don't exist in be bad?

You could try just uploading your .dat and then rebuild the Memberlist but delete the one you created first.

I uploaded an old .dat file from a backup and that fixed it... I'm not sure what it was that stopped it working though...

I thought the snid was disposable?

Anyway Thanks!
