[OT] Threads and posts missing?

Scribe Ineti · Jul 2, 2002

I apologize since this is likely in the wrong area, but I posted a couple new threads and posts last night, and I can't seem to find them. Were they lost in the server move? If so, I'll just recreate them from memory.

Yesterday, while they were moving the database over, the old server (test.cyberstreet.com) said that the new server was at enworld.cyberstreet.com. When the new server came up though, they kept the old server going -- and they kept the messageboard link on the front page pointing to the old server (test.cyberstreet.com).

Yup, this is exactly what the Meta Forum is for.

*boing*

Drat! I'll figure out these board categories yet!

If you don't want something read, post it to Meta. That's all you need to know!

Not exactly, mmadsen. If you want a question answered about the boards, post it in meta.... and if you want to irritate a moderator, post it elsewhere when you know better.

I don't know if this will help the matter much, But it looks like any thread older than 28-Jun-2002 is not showing up. I remember seeing on Saturday when both Servers were up that some threads were showing up on test.cyberstreet.com and all were showing up on test2.cyberstreet.com.

Nope, they're there, at least for me. Under the last listed thread, try changing the dropdown box "last 2 days" to something greater. Tah-dah!

I do think a few threads and posts were lost during the switchover between the time that the boards were backed up and the time the new server went online. Not too many, though.

I knew there was a reason you're the Super Moderator. I guess my thread time got reset with the move over
