Title: What happened to my thread ?
Post by: groutley on September 03, 2006, 11:37:15 PM

I have a problem with my migration from sme6  to sme7 and have been getting some great help to work toward a resolution, to which I gave up at midnight.
But this morning I wake up and my forum thread has gone ?

I refresh the web browser where I left it and get..

"The topic or post you requested does not exist"

What has happened ??

If I was emailed about this,  some of the problem I was trying to resolve is I don't recieve email !!

Very confused this morning...

I've alerted staff at contribs.org via email.

It would appear that all new posts and existing posts for which content have been added over the past day  have vanished.  

At 00:19 Sydney time, I received a notification of content added to the post of Groutley, and I made a reply at around 01:00 Sydney time. So the system was still OK.

At 03:15 Sydney time, I received a notification of content added to:
http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=33551.msg143446#msg143446
suggesting that the system was still OK.  This post has now vanished.

I lost a post as well.  At first I thought I must be going nuts, and had only hallucinated that I made the post.    :-?

No it was in relation to http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=33582.msg143389#msg143389
The thread disappeared completly back then,  and much later in the day the thread re-appeared although much of the posts were and still are lost.

Obviously contribs.org had a hiccup, which caused some data loss, but is all back on track now.
