I backed up the newbb databases using PHPamyadmin, made a copy of the backup, made some slight modifications to the backup and uploaded the modified version (stupid, I know). I got an error. So, I said, "Ha! That's why I made a backup!" and I uploaded the original backup. No errors. But now everything shows up just peachy except that when you get into the threads, there are no posts. I double-checked my backup and all of the post text is in there, so I'm not sure what's missing.
I just tried it again, and I got a ""Got a packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet'" error.
Any ideas on how to recover this?
