Hi guys,

Just want to check to see if anyone knows what happened to one of my thread...It was in the Off-Topic forum and it just disappeared, vanished .

I checked my PM but looks like noone has notified me that the thread in in a wrong place or inappropiate...

Ben, several threads and posts are gone. And, i was at 1000 posts to.

same here the posts i put down are gone I was at 285

I saw something about a new server so maybe they did a backup I dunno

Derek

Hey gang,

The site had been running slow and we had a lot of down time.

We thought it best to move the site to a more dependable server and Host.

During the transfer, we lost some threads and some posts. Mainly, the ones posted yesterday and a few from the day before.

We apologize for the inconvenience and hope that this move will resolve the server issues that we had previously encountered.


Thanks

Hey Mark and Les

This is great news!!

Worse thing is when I come get my AFC fix and the site is Down!!

I hope this works out better


Thanks

Derek

Derek,
Does it seem to be running faster on your end???

Seems to be running better here. (P.S. Ben, I lost my thread too and didn't get to read responses...lol)

Sorry about that Steph....

Deffinatley a big improvement

Craig

I agree... huge improvement!!! Thanks for moving us

My problem last time was accessing the forum. It would have too many time outs. Now, I haven't had one since :)

NO prob Mark...I forgive ya...lol, you do so much here, we all appreciate it!

Mark it seems to be much better no more lag!!

Ill drink to yar work brother!!!

WEEEEEEEE

Larry

Amber

Mark

is there a way to retrieve the lost threads

I know Larry gave a post with lots of good advice that has gone missing out of the thread "Parameters and feeding"It is a shame to lose them

Derek, I'm sure if there was, we would have done so already

Heather

It would depend on when Mark did a backup.Perhalps he may have done more than one.Im just asking if it was possible

Derek,

While in the process of moving the files and data over to the new host and server, the old server started acting up again. We could not access the files needed to complete the transfer. A day or so later, we were able to access the ftp server and complete the transfer. The posts that were lost fall in between that time frame. To answer your question.....No, there is no way to retrieve the lost posts now. We would have been able to by starting all over when the ftp server was accessible again....but then we would be running the risk of not being able to access the server in mid-transfer again. This is why we made the decision to move servers, because of all the trouble the old server was having. Losing a few posts is much better than losing the whole site.

Thanks for the reply Mark!


And yes I agree a few posts lost are much better than 1000's !!I appreciate the explaination

Derek
