    i emptied the vb3_externalcache table

    i did it in an attempt to weed out a hacker.
    now some of the sub forums are missing.
    can someone from vb coding team tell me what this externalcache table contains. i thought it was "cache" and therefore not vital.

    Not sure why that's happened, that table is empty on my 3.8 install and it has sub-forums...

    Can you see them in AdminCP > Forums & Moderators > Forum Manager?

      i've fixed it now.
      the problem was not in emptying the externalcache.
      it was the vb3_forum that was messed up.
      i ran tools.php and build bitfields. now its all good
