[]Well - though if you're restoring the database within threads - you wouldn't be able to be logged in, as the user's table would have to be dropped. So not sure how that would be possible. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> [/]
Of course, I have no idea why it should or shouldn't work, but I know you can install a clean phpbb board on a fresh database and then "Restore Database" from within the Admin CP. It does its thing, whatever that is, LOL, and when you move back to the index page, you have to log in with your info from the database you just restored. I assume it just writes over the tables in the (mostly) empty database? And since you're not actively using it, but just sitting there waiting for the restore to finish, that makes it okay?
You can tell I'm a real genius about this stuff. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
