Title: READ ME : COGNOISE FORUM POSTS LOST IN DATABASE CORRUPTION
Post by: COGNOiSe administrator on 07 Dec 2005 06:32:48 AM
Hi All,

As you might have noticed, the site has been in maintenance mode (behaving very strangely in the hours before going offline eg. losing member stats, login problems etc).

I have restored from backups but all posts posted between Dec 5th midnight to Dec 7th 7am has been lost.

Please accept my apologies but an ill-fated attempted upgrade to the forum software recommended by the vendor did not work out well. I am sure we have all had upgrade war stories but this one (for me at least) beats them all. It looked like COGNOiSe might have been dealt a fatal blow...

Thanks for all your patience.

Cheers
Jon

Hi Administrator,

I have some inkling of the hoops you had to jump through to get the site back up and running.  On behalf of all of us who use this forum, a big thank you for all your hard work and dogged determination in getting the site back to a useable state.  If one or two members get that sense of deja-vu when they answer questions they thought they'd already responded to, it is but a minor inconvenience (or maybe it's just a glitch in the Matrix? :-) soon forgotten.

Best regards,

MF.

Get me outta here, Morpheus!

Thanks for the kind words, MFGF.  I bet you are the one in your circle of friends that remembers the birthdays  of everyone and organises the dinners.
