Forum outage?

[ocka]

Hi everyone.   Nice to see the forum is back online.   What happened?

[Ah dinnae ken]

Some one posted a picture of the mods viewing their secret porn stash and it broke the internet😇

[Zackzzane]

Not sure, but my posts from 24 hours ago are gone...

[tko]

It's also showing posts I've read as new and unread.

[mr21]

I posted two long updates in my TR yesterday and they are both gone. No bueno!

Heaps missing.

Must be a backup restoral.

That I saw, Invision services did not show as degraded or down during this period. May have been direct attack against this site - or just localized corruption of some kind.

Same here

[ProzacDrag0n]

Couple of my most recent posts are also gone. 

[XXhriss]

Yeah, some are gone. But the database is back and that's fine

I noticed this as well, I had just applied for advanced then a few hours later the forum went down. Wasn't sure if I was denied or my post got removed. Glad the forum is back up though, was curious about some food and other hotels to book in the future and kept forgetting the site was down.

Sorry fellas - we were trying to repair the missing pictures issue and the host who was meant to be backing up the database made a blunder - it has now been restored and all should be ok. 

Thanks

Lost more long updates I posted yesterday morning in my TR due to website "maintenance". They take a lot of time and this is getting frustrating. Losing motivation to make quality posts (I guess that's that's subjective 😐) anymore

I didn't get on at all yesterday. hope everything has been fixed now

When you type long posts like you do it's better to type them into a words format on your device and then copy paste them onto this board.

Sorry about that bro - it turned out to be more complicated than hoped for. The site is over 650 gig and on remote servers so it is a slow process. Also the database is extensive, making it impossible to execute commands to correct all of the incorrect table paths. It needs to be done manually for hundreds of tables.

Update - should be all ok now and the pics restored

Exactly this. And that goes for anything internet.
