We're back

[Rob]

We have recovered from a small database problem.

One table in the database got stomped on--unfortunately it was the one with all the posts! There's no evidence of wrongdoing, it just looks like a routine error.

Several members contacted me, which is the exact right thing to do, and in short order I had a look around and restored one of our multiple daily backups. So we have only lost a small few posts, and we are back in order.

(Don't tell TFP Admin that it broke as soon as he looked away for one minute--he'll never leave the computer again!)

Nice work Rob. I was online this afternoon, and all was well. I gotta wonder about Dobby's Cook a chicken post, in Flooring Potpourri, that sure looked like a hack. But now its gone??
Also, the floor pro site has been really slow to load the last day or two; the other sites I visit seem OK??

We rolled back to a backup from 13:00 server time. So if it was after that, it never happened. I never saw the post, because there were only 35 posts in the database when I got the call, all asking what went wrong.
