Recovering lost threads

[Morrus]

Is there not a mod of that forum who can deal with stickies and the like?

That's an idea! (Which I should really have though of before bothering you.)

I'll liaise with Freyar about PMing one of the moderators listed for the forum.

How far back was the good backup from the database outage?

It appears to be from sometime in early May. The most recent recovered post in the forums I've checked is May 6th.

Yeah, looks like May for the last decent backup.

The Starwars campaign I was running in communities appears to have lost all updates since the beginning of May. Wished I'd kept better notes!

Yes, fortunately I saved the Creature Catalog conversions as soon as we finish them over in General Monster Talk so the CC hasn't lost that much.

I'm thinking I'd better start saving the working drafts & discussion threads while we are in the process of converting them, since there were a couple of conversions we've lost a lot of work on that we were just about to finish.

I found Trogdor's game's RG, but I didn't find it on my Current Subscriptions list. So just in case this is not just my problem, here's the URL:

http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?489091-Monster-Hunters-Rogue-s-Gallery

Unfortunately, my Paladin is no longer present, and I can't find the char gen guidelines.

NEVER MIND: Just found out that Trogdor made this thread over after the crash.

I can't comment on the Firefox part of the question.

The site:enworld.org search will work inside google regardless of what you normally use the search. It is based upon google's spiders combing the web for content rather than your bowser's cache. I know duckduckgo.com's search also supports the site: syntax if you want to run the search there. I do not know if that site offers a cached view though.

Duckduckgo doesn't have cached views.

I've only found them on Google, and they've already updated some of them so they show versions of Enworld.org after the Great Database Hiccup.
