Forum Problem - Lost Posts

[Skip]

We're sorry to announce that the post part of our database was corrupted (possibly due to a corrupted image file upload). We've now restored from a backup, but we lost the last 3 days of posts.

We've now disabled image uploading within posts until a better system can be programmed. You can still upload your images to the galleries and link to them via the posts (if you know how to do that)

Again we're sorry for the inconvenience, but we are still working on the site making improvements and this was on the list.

I have a tech call in to see if they have a more recent backup, but I've not got a response yet. I didn't want to keep the site down any longer, so it was my call.

Everyone just needs to remember this site is barely more than a week old!

We gotta stand up before we can run! ;)

I also want to thank you for updating the SD site to reflect the recent increase in all BOG Strains now from 10 to 12 seeds per pack. SC99 was the last to switch over so now all are 20 % cheaper than last year when I starting restocking at 12 per pack.

Thanks for taking care of business for us all Skip and BTW...

I still have all the pics I have already uploaded here so once fixed I will put them all back. :D BOG

peace fellas... I wish I could help...

Lets hope those runaway posts will be found...

btw... I had just clicked one link to become loaded, but I stopped loading it before it was ready... and exactly at the same second whole site crashed... DB error or sumtin... maybe it was a wild coinsidence, but I felt on that moment I had caused it... I even made a feedback mail to report about it :eek:

I finally found out what happened from our hosting company. Evidently some of the log files got so huge they filled the hard drive! They deleted them and the site came up again.

So I guess it's good news it wasn't the images that were corrupted (ya'll can rest easy on that).

But I think we'll still hold off on the image posting because that too makes the database too large, too fast. Once it's reprogrammed you'll be posting your images right to the gallery, instead of the forum database.

We will soon be moving this site to a new server with much larger storage capacity & twice as fast! (Evidently there's another site on this shared server which has a huge picture database already).

I hope this makes sense to everyone.

humm homm... good news then...

I hope ya now wathca doin...

Laurus,
When I spoke with tech support, they had already overwritten the backup this morning with the current data, so that's all we have now. So get writing! :)

Again, we're sorry about the inconvenience.

[Laurus Lamas]

No need for apologies...:)

shit happends...

That would explain why we can't upload avatars eh?

When I go to CP, I click change avatar and then I get the message saying "thanks for changing your avatar, or your avatar has been changed" without the opprotunity to insert a small picture.

Will this option be back soon?

PEACE
