    Slowly coming back online

    I can access the forum through Tapatalk, but not yet through a browser. It might be a caching issue.

    I haven't looked at how many messages may have been lost yet.

    I'll explain what the hosting company did too screw it up when I get full functionality restored.

    Looks like we lost just over a full day's postings.
    The last posting, pre-crash, appears to be around 6:15pm on the 20th,
    and my log shows I posted a few times on the morning of the 21st.

    Fortunately, I still have one of the more involved updates that I did.
    I kept it, because I did a pretty involved edit, and it refused to save it.

    The "activity" button on the menu brings up postings from the last few
    days before the "crash" but it doesn't look like all of them are there.
    Was the old host losing some posts before the "crash"?
    I don't mind being called far right.
    I have been right so far.

    No mac, it wasn't your fault, this time. the person who always wanted people tossed is gone.

    There were some technical issues and it was totally the hosting services fault. The entire site disappeared, database and all for a few days Not only for us, but for thousands of other sites that this company, MDDhosting.com hosts. According to their excuse, their most advanced tech meant to trim the unwanted files from the storage drives, but instead, deleted ALL files.

    What is most unbelievable is that someone actually put up a GoFundMe account for the host. I guess they wanted to reward incompetence.

    They got it restored this morning and it looks like we only lost messages from late Thursday and all of Friday's.

    But we are back!

    Never mind, the "activity" button is working again, as it should.

    Thousands of sites.
    Over 24 hours of work per site.
    That amounts to a hell of a lot of loss.

    No, they estimated that the last back-up was 14-36 hours before the wipe occurred. So it looks like our last back-up was done about 22 hours before they screwed up.
