The problem here is that if Amy did not do a backup of the database before merging the forums.....seperation may be virtually impossible.
I'm not sure exactly what structure or data format this forum uses but in most cases, it is extremely difficult to undo this process.
At best, she "might" be able to restore it to where it was on the day she made the change....but all posts made since then might be lost.
That could be why she hasn't responded. Trying to figure out if it's possible.This appears to be a proprietary forum build as far as I can tell. If it is, it's highly unlikely the coders built in a way to undo the merge. I do know that if there is no UNDO for the merge built in, the longer Amy waits the worse it will be because the more posts that will be lost.
But to be honest' I can't be sure in any event. Maybe this is ZenForum or vBulletin underneath and can be reverted. I guess we'll see.
It is...but not very easy.
