After a topic or a thread has been posted, is there any way to get into the database to change it's date? I need to hand enter some posts from another board.

You can change them, but I believe they are dated in seconds... ex: a post written today might have a date of: 0792359763 or something... it is the seconds since whenever the unix time was started (in 1970 or something). Of course I could be completely wrong []https://www.ubbdev.com/threads/php/images/icons/smile.gif[/] Browse the w3t_posts table for an idea.

Allen,

Thanks for all your responses. I just am at a TOTAL loss as to how I could even access the MySQL data. Can I do it from the admin?

Thanks,

Mary

You can install phpmyadmin

http://phpmyadmin.sourceforge.net/

very nice scripts to work on your database...

note: please make backups before editing your db, it's easy to delete stuff before you realize it's gone. do not use the empty, drop, or flush links unless specifically recommended for a specific problem.
