The upgrade and owner change happened around the same time and immediately following that period I went away for a few months and had virtually nothing to do with the site.
Regarding the backup. I have no idea and really want no more to do with them. Yesterday they renamed the UBB cache folder and changed php.ini files then left the site in a mess.
Just a few days to set up the new site and I'll be free of them.

In my case, the flat mode works but only when threaded mode is default.
To me, this seems that it is the logic rather than the data that is corrupted.

However for you, this is not the case.
