Okay i now have access (to a degree).
None of the formatting is present (ie looks like the landing page has escaped from the early 80's!) so i probably need to clear all the caches down (cached paths to the css perhaps?) However...

Next issue is that i get a forbidden error when i click on the login link - so obviously the restore has trashed the finely crafted (and specific) UBB file permissions.

Anyone have a handly list of what needs to be set to what? I have sever access so can go through and manually set them accordingly.

Cheers
