Forum Restored from Backup Yesterday

Incase you're curious as to what happened..... something strange happened causing all posts over 30 days old to get deleted from the forum.  We're not sure at this point wether it was a user error, or something else... but it happened.

And of course, as always happens,  the newest backup that Ted had was at least 2 days old.... so therefore we lost at least one full day of posts on the forum.

Just thought I'd let you all know.

Wow, thankfully you had a good backup. What a terrible loss it would have been to lose all the collected knowledge contained in the forum.

I agree it would have been a terrible loss.
The contributions to the wiki are another backup : every time someone takes an answered topic in the forum and improves the wiki with it (copy-paste) the solution gets backuped twice. Remember everyone that forum users have write access to the wiki. We are all free to contribute to the project.

Have fun with CMSms
