Screwed Up- Sorry

Post by Tank Program »

Er, due to an unfortunate typo in the mysql client, I deleted the user database. I've restored from a backup that I made on March 24th, but I'm sorry to say that if you've registered after that date then you'll need to regster again. I'll deal with any other issues that pop up as a result of this as they come.

In other news user registration now requires visual confirmation. Let's see if this helps any with the spam bots.

Surveying the damage it seems threads created by people that no longer exist have disapeared. Or aren't being shown. I'm working on this.

Things are as usual... A bit messed up. But, the 57 lost posts are back, under the "Guest" name.

Sorry again. I'll be sure to either backup or double check my mysql queries in the future.

Or both. :)

Are the unusual flags really blocked now?

Yes custom flags are blocked.

And let me stress, as far as I know this has not effected any posts other than those by the people who joined after March 24th. No posts or content has been lost, just users.
