Well the forum is back online. However, we had to restore from a backup.
[*]What was not lost - we did NOT lose any posts. Well, almost. I did notice that Joe made a post while the forum was offline. Joe you will need to make that post again. [*]What was lost - [*] Any Private Messages sent after 11/19/03. [*] Any Profile changes made after 11/19/03. [*] Registrations made on 11/21. Three visitors will need to register again.
We will not be able to move any post in the future in this forum. That is what caused the problem with the forum and the reason we had to restore from the backup.
What Happen? Well most visitors may not have noticed but when we tried to move some of the posts from the "Vendor" thread to the "Association" thread they were duplicated instead and for some reason replaced other posts made months ago. This involved about 60 posts. What we did was restore from a backup made before we tried the move, pulled the database down to a local PC and corrected the index and added any posts made after the backup. One big problem is that I can only get 28.8 connects at the CADO base due to the rural location. The Forum is a large database and takes hours to move. Sorry for the downtime.
If you notice any problems with the forum please let me know about them. |
