I had earlier (4 weeks ago) shifted this topic to another forum (manually via PHPMyAdmin) and somehow the posts had reverted back to the original forum ID no. Wierd huh!?!
Anyway that was easilly fixed by shifting it out of the forum and then back in and confirming the change in forum ID no. in the database.
Sorry I didn't post this sooner but I had to rush off to pick up my wife and get some last minute xmas shopping done. Thanks for the replys.
Merry xmas everyone!
