Title: Missing posts and missing members
Post by: Emma on August 25, 2023, 09:09:32 AM

There has been an unannounced server migration recently.
A member has let me know that some data has not been transferred from the 16th-23rd August 2023.
I doubt if there's anything that can be done about that. I've run repair tables on the database but nothing has resurfaced.

Member accounts registered during that period have disappeared so you'll have to re-register.
I know it's an inconvenience, it seems someone at the hosting company dropped the ball.

Thanks for letting us know what happened Emma.  Does this mean the hosting co doesn't have a backup?

I expect there will be a backup but inserting old posts into the current forum would probably mess up the post count and do more damage.
Best not to resurrect the dead - George Romero taught us that.
