I'm sorry -Best I can offer is a suggestion to ask your host if they have a backup they can roll you back to.

no they dont have

Kindred

you don't seem to understand....   that table *IS* the contents.

You can either retsore form your old backup or restart the forum with no contents.

There is no way to recover the messages if they are missing from the table.

and, restoring the messages table from the old backup is extremely difficult, because messages tie into multiple tables - and restoring JUST the messages table will put your forum in a bad state because of missing references in other tables.
