Also i was wondering what files contain the actual posts... They show up when it says Last post blah blah blah but when you try to goto them they are blank... someone know what ones i need to replace with my backups... Look ma' No hands

I didn't read your post carefully when I answered your question. There are a number of files that contain "key info", and I don't know all of them. Why are you doing this? There may be an easier way of accomplishing your objective.

You might need to run the "rebuild" functions in the maintenance menu afterwards. Deleting the files manually is tricky, because you have to know exactly what all the files are, whether there are interdependencies among the files, which ones the UBB automatically creates, etc.
