| Reset Demo after X hours. How do you set up a demo forum software, but either keep it as a "dud" So as in, any setting will be forgotten a few minutes after input. Or the board reverts itself to a default clean installation every 1-2 hours. I am needing to learn how to do this for my site with demo's of software. I simply can't be bothered re-installing or re-uploading a database every few hours.

| That would not restore / revert any AdminCP changes though, arent they stored in PHP files?
