Zactoman Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Just checked the forums and it seems that the last few days of replies have disappeared. What happened? Can things be restored? We lost some good stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zactoman Posted October 31, 2019 Author Share Posted October 31, 2019 It looks like we lost everything after Sunday evening at 11:56 pm. Newer PMs were lost as well. One that I lost had an important shipping address. Good thing it showed up in my e-mail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 It was a fix for a recent issue where using the “unread content” feature (or any of the activity streams) would cause an error. Steve investigated and there was an error in one of the database tables. The fix was to revert to a previous saved point, meaning that two days of data were lost. The notification of the issue and his reply what the fix was going to entail were among the messages lost. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Steve posted in another thread the forum database got corrupted and the restore db is from 28 October so there’s your gap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SBARC Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Yup. One of the tables in the forum database was corrupted so i had to load a copy of the forum database from Oct 28. The hosting company wanted to load a copy from Oct 24...but I REALLY didn't want to lose that much data. Sorry but this was the best I could do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janman Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 So, if I started a WIP thread during the gap, it's gone for good..? I actually did and it can't be found anymore. Ever? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
airmechaja Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I can't even get on with any of my tablets. Main computer is working. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
airmechaja Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 This is interesting. When I sign out on one of my tablets, I can see ARC but I can't post. As soon as I sign in, I'm brought to a strange view of ARC and I can't do anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SBARC Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 A few people are having issues when they log in. I have work this morning and this evening....I will look into this in the afternoon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I logged into one of the accounts as that ARC member and the forums loaded just fine for me using his account. But for him it loads in the weird text version. If anyone figures out a solution to this...please let me know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mstor Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I figured it out. If you are experiencing the problem where the formatting of the forum is basically gone and is all text, do the following. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and find the link labeled "Theme". Click on it and select "Old ARC (default)". That fixed the problem for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skyhawk174 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Well I could not get in last night or it was just messed up. However this morning it is fine. It probably needed some rest. All good now. Interesting too that it told me I had new messages but they were old ones but makes sense since Steve reset to a few days ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SBARC Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Ha...this problem finally happened to me and the fix discovered by Mstor fixed it instantly. I am curious what is causing this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
