I was meaning to get out my first landmark (which was never archived) and it's not there. Also, I have my settings for 1 year of posts. before the freeze it was 207 pages. Now it is considerably less. 149, I think. I clicked on the last page and it went to May 11. Which wouldn't explain the landmark being gone.

I'm pretty sure I have the landmark on my other computer, but does anyone else notice anything missing?

"The events of Feb 4" "the post Feb 4 situation." 2-4 will no longer be the emmy award winning show, but the date of the Hatrack freeze.

Pooka, this is nothing new, it happens every few months.

Freeze, We Loose Threads, Life Goes On.

Not only that, the time is wrong, once again.

You know, I know exactly what you mean. Just before the infamous "freeze", I had written out the most insightful, thought-provoking, well-written, and let's face it, awesome post of my entire Hatrack career. I pressed the post button, and it disappeared into the lonely reaches of cyberspace, never to be seen again.

And now I can't for the life of me remember what it said. (sighs) Oh well, them's the breaks... [Razz]

Where do the posts go when they fall off the Edge of Hatrack? [Angst]

Just a guess (as a system administrator where I work)... is that when the system froze, they probably had to do a purge and then re-load from backup.

Since backups are not always run daily (sometimes just weekly or whatever) they may not have had a backup with the most recent stuff. We may have lost a few days in there.

But I haven't had a chance to really see what is missing yet, so that is a random guess.

No, all the really recent posts were there. Also, we could view posts just fine and the other side could post.

I suspect a problem relating to handling of the primary key for the posts for this side of the forum, or similar.

Pooka, your first landmark was archived yesterday. It's fine.

Pop, does this mean you knew it was coming? And you didn't warn us?

That means that while the board was down, I received an e-mail telling me the threads I sent in on Sunday had been archived. I knew nothing of when or why the board went down or what maintenance was done. I'm pretty confident that archiving six threads isn't why they took the board down -- it's never been required for that before.
