Humm strange, as the method you describe was the same
for me and i didnt have an issue.
Can you access the database, if so can you see topics
and posts?
I'm sure this has come up before way back at 7.0
and it was rick that sorted it.
He's pretty handy on the sql querys.
Try a search in further back in this fourm,
but i think your going to have to start a ticket.
sorry i cant be any more help than that.
