Just to let everyone know, I will probably be shutting down the site Wednesday night after midnight to do a forum upgrade. It will be down for an hour or so. I will try to do it late so as not to affect anyone's usage. Thanks for your cooperation.

note: Had to change date because I was too busy to do it this past weekend ;)

is there an eta on recovering all the old posts?
specifically, i was looking at DLFs thread on the Canton pan install.
and most all the posts from this thread are missing as well, so im not sure if this post will work.
guess we'll see.
 
I'd love to see an update on this as well. Mike P: Any updates yet? I know you're working on it, and I know it's a tough one..
 
I'm not aware there will be a fix for the kidding old posts without losing the posts since that restore.
 
Honestly, this place has been so quiet sine the upgrade that there's not much "new" content to loose. I think getting the historical data back is probably more important.
 
I'm totally with Tixer on this, without the old content, we have basically nothing of value here.
 
Without the Old threads, and a properly working site, LOD is dead. Ever since the 'upgrade' it's been a disappointing and highly annoying experience. I love all the people on this site, and especially those that work for the site. I am not sure what happened to this site, but coming here just disappoints me, so I don
 
I agree, the value of this site is the information that was here from everyone's previous experiences. Without that, it is as useless as the facebook groups, after a day or so, the information is gone, and the people have to ask the same questions over and over.

I was trying to steer people to the site from the facebook groups for answers, but I can't anymore.
 
Agree, recovery of the old posts should be a MAJOR priorty. I plan on keeping my Mark indefinitely. I need those old posts to make future repairs and upgrades.

Ironically that is how the first MarkVIII message board was back in 1997 (later became the Schrodinger cat board and our backup board), and that led to the forming of the website to have a searchable archive.

Thanks to the people leading the effort to do what they can to recover the data.
 
Thanks, JP.

If we're maintaining a "to-do" list, this should be added to it also: It appears we're still dealing with some database corruption here. I've seen this particular "bug" a few times now. Note that's your icon, next to Warden's name..

Was shocked to see what has happened here as I have been absent for quite a long time. Hopefully the recovery goes well.
