Andy Collins Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 I think the database problem is fixed for now. Over the next week or so I will be upgrading the forum to ISP4 so expect some more problems and maybe more down time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Anderson Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Good to have it back, but I've lost some of my pm conversations and some pms from different conversations as well. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Anderson Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Also a topic I posted in the nepenthes section is missing as well, it was called something like nepenthes seedling with three cotyledons. Can't find it at all now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North West Neps Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Funny you should say that Mark, i just went to reply to our conversation we started prior to the downtime and it's gone. Luckily the email notification copies were still in my trash, so i'll start a new pm and continue where we left off. The database may have become corrupted when the site went down, and so i don't think it was manually deleted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Collins Posted October 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Any PM's or posts after the 17.10.15 will not be here. Database was restored from a backup. you will have to post them again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North West Neps Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) Yup Mark, i've also just noticed one or two threads i replied to recently have also gone. Hopefully we didn't lose too much data, but i suppose only time will tell.

Yossu Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Thanks Andy. As a software developer / web developer, I know exactly how it feels when things like this happen! It was very frustrating for us, but a huge thanks for all your hard work. Didn't realise how much time I spent here! I was getting serious withdrawal symptoms! Thanks again. I also lost a few posts, but will try and remember what they were. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, i don't do much online (Facebook, Twitter, or any of that kind of stuff) but i was like an addict suffering withdrawal symptoms when CPUK went down I know there are plenty of other alternatives out there, but they don't have the same appeal to me for some reason.

Mark Anderson Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Cheers Andy, I'll repost the topic. Thanks again for all your hard work. Yeah I didn't realise how much I was on here till the site was down, I don't use Facebook or other stuff either. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North West Neps Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Andy, can you tell us if we'll be getting the CPUK theme back, or did you confirm if that was the cause of the member menu not working for some people ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like this theme better! Not that there was anything wrong with the old one, but I think this is much more pleasant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Collins Posted October 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Andy, can you tell us if we'll be getting the CPUK theme back, or did you confirm if that was the cause of the member menu not working for some people ? The menu problem on the CPUK theme was a browser issue. Worked for me on IE but stopped working on Chrome. If we upgrade to IP.Board 4.0 then the old theme wouldn't work anyway so I'm going to leave this one on and sort out what theme to use after the upgrade.

North West Neps Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Shame that, as it wasn't causing a problem for some of us. It would've been nice if it could've remained as an option, and the people with the menu problem advised to revert to the default blue theme, which has always been there.
