    Start all over again :(

    Hey

    So I had a problem with my host about a month ago and finally when they got everything working my vBulletin forum stopped working (it tells every user that their password is wrong and they exceeded the max amount of log ins). I've contacted vb for about 3 days now but they didn't replay and everyday more and more spammers are posting in my site.

    Even my PR dropped from 2 to 0 :(

    I feel like i lost everything and I'm thinking of starting all over again, if ANYONE could help me to see what's wrong with my forum i'll be more than thank full and i'd really appreciate it.

    Thanks.

    It sounds like your database got corrupted and when they re-loaded it, the password has failed. If you have a better back up, it might be better to load that instead of whatever the host did.

    Moral of the story- never trust your host. Make your own back ups. If you don't have one, there's really nothing you can do to fix it.
