As you may see from my post number, I'm new to this forum. Yesterday, I wrote my first posts in several topics. One of this was in this forum and it was an important question about a problem I had. I also changed my profile a little.
Today, I don't see any of my posts and my profile is reset as well. (There were some answers to my posts which proves that the posts have actually been submitted)
I know this might sound extremely stupid but this is not the first forum I visit but the first one, that makes it this hard for a new user. Please don't get me wrong, I would like to stay here, that's why I ask for help ...
Thanks
Luisa
There was a weird glitch and everything from sunday (Posts, profile changes) was undone.
There's more info here. (http://www.postudios.com/blog/forum/index.php?board=34;action=display;threadid=2301;start=msg99148#msg99148)
Ok, I hope they'll restore it as they said ...
Why did it had to happen on my first day here? Can anybody have so much bad luck? :'(
Anyway, thanks. Let's hope it won't happen today again ...
I'm sorry you feel like you're having bad luck. Don't worry...stuff like this doesn't usually happen. But we did have a couple days over the summer that the forum was dead and about two days of posts were totally lost.
Ok...that wasn't very comforting, was it? *sigh* I guess I'm just trying to say that Neil and all the other people who help keep up the forum do a great job and are on the ball when stuff goes wrong. And even if our posts don't re-appear, you're still a member of the KQ9 community and we welcome you! :)
Hello Louisa,
It turns out yesterday's posts are gone forever. :-\ They did some massive server maintenance without backing up everything, and now there are even more things messed up than the forum. I asked them to notify me in the future before they perform maintenance so that I can get a chance to backup the databases, in case something like this happens again.
I'm not sure if you saw my response yesterday, but I said that I did modify your profile to the e-mail address you requested, and sent you an e-mail manually saying that it was now changed. Both of the e-mails bounced back. That explains why you never received a password or a response from me.
All I can suggest is to continue to use the e-mail address you are right now, or get a free web-based one like Hotmail (http://www.hotmail.com) or Yahoo (http://www.yahoo.com).
@ Yonkey:
I see. (Unfortunately, I didn't read your reply on Sunday anymore.) It's ok, I'll keep the adress I now have, maybe I can redirect them automatically.
@ koko:
thanks for the comfort ;) and for welcoming me.
And thanks for all your help. :)
