What's the bet Barnett, Charlotte and the boys in blue shagged these forums. I like Mcgowans wife... Can I vote for her

Hmm, I have had a few days off and been flat out busy and logged in this morning to be greeted by a message saying there was something wrong with the data base. I also later received a message regarding this matter, For the present it seems we cant get passed towards the end of November. I have no doubt we have people working on this. I will let forum members know more information as I receive it. We apologize for any inconveniences this may have caused and again I will keep you posted as information becomes available from our Tech crew.


Well Mr2 if you think about it. All of Charlottes ramblings are now lost... Oops! those damn servers.

Believe me when I say, months of work have gone into the forum changes, cleaning it all up and weeks of creating forums and moving things around. Just to get rid of Charlotte's ramblings would have been as simple as pushing a button. And this is most definitely not the case.

Hi to all the members

Some of you may have noticed when you logged in today that the boards are showing the last update as being 22/11/2012.

We are still looking into what actually happened to cause the database error.

Yes as some of you have guessed, we have just discovered that the database wasn’t being backed up. Thatguy was looking after backing up the database, and since he finished up in early December 2012, nothing had been backed up.

With the leaving of staff unfortunately it got lost in the void.

Our friendly on call IT person that is helping us out is looking into setting it up so that the forum is backed up as an automated process instead of the manual process that it was.

We apologise for the inconvenience, and realise that we have lost approx. 90 days of data, so threads, private messages, member permissions, updates on your profiles, new forums, and even member access has reverted back to what it was 90 days ago.

Again we apologise, and are in the middle of resolving this issue to prevent it from happening again.

Most of you know I’m not techy minded, so this all the information I have at the moment.

Glad to see this thread as I'd wondered what happened. I wasn't a member back in early december so I've lost over 100 posts, and many more private messages so had to rejoin. Now I'm attempting to get my first 5 again :)

@colzilla

The system wasn't recognising Ms Sue's log in, so instead of trying to fidel to fix the issue it was more important that she post the announcement, so I emailed her my log in details.

Kind regards
Sammi

Thanks Sue,.........now that explains it. I was wondering why all the old posts are up. Never mind. Positive side.......nothing wrong to re-discuss former discussions again. Views might have changed.
By the way I did lose all my recent pms as well.......so sorry if I don't get back to you guys. Feel free to pm me again ;)

I assume that users who have signed up since November will have to sign up again. You might need to post a notice on the logon screen to tell people who can't get in.

How often do we get a do over.....lol. Well for the period of November to now anyways

So if you said something you regretted in a PM, put your foot in it by mistake on the forum, unless the person actually remembers your user name, the slate has been wiped clean so to speak. Could be seen as a positive.

Feels a little like Groundhog Day. Please persevere with me as I try to get the forum cleaned up (again), so much working hours have been lost but the forum will be looking fantastic and will be easy to get around again in the near future.
