Bill Hagan Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 So, during the night -- I am of an age that requires middle-of-the-night strolls to the WC -- I get a PM from a member here. I read it, then, this morning, came onto the forum to reply. Hmmmmmm. Not there. I then see that I am the last poster on two threads, each from 22 January. Huh? So, unless I really have lived through some sort of time warp, assume there is an IT explanation for this. Curious if the "lost posts and threads" will reappear. Inasmuch as one insulted me and this also leaves my musical tastes as the latest and naturally greatest , I would not be displeased if the lost are not found. Bill
Scud Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 I see that my "Champagne wishes..." project thread has rolled back a few days. I'm going to check the garage to see if the progress I made on the bike has also been un-done. 2
bbolesaz Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Thought maybe it was the sound of an exploding single plate clutch, but I guess it was just a disk drive crashing.
JRD Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Bill- You need to come out of the woods more often!
docc Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Moved Bill Hagan's thread here to look further into this. A few posts and some personal messages appear to have vaporized. My biggest concern is the new member who posted a series of photos in a gallery of his new LeMans and a California. I recall he is in Lakeland, Florida, USA? My pm to him is gone and I can't recall the username. Was it "guzziguy?"
BigBlock Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Yeah I noticed my Ti exhaust post from yesterday in the 24/7 V11 section has disappeared. I thought it was me that screwed up.
Scud Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 Yeah I noticed my Ti exhaust post from yesterday in the 24/7 V11 section has disappeared. I thought it was me that screwed up. I think it was your fault. The fact that a Ti exhaust kit was still new-in-box created a rift in the space-time continuum that sucked a few days of forum activity into a black hole. You should not have posted that photo. 2
BigBlock Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 Hang on everybody I'm going to post it again. 1
LowRyter Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 wait, I had the password to my $1,000,000,000 Swiss account hidden in my PMs. ooooooh nooooooooooooo.
Admin Jaap Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 Back online! Sorry for the wait guys. Yesterday I had to undergo a server migration and now it seems some postings have gone missing... It's amazing how much extra work this brings. But hey, you're still here!As for the missing posts... It's just too much work to just lift out a couple of days from the huge database and stick 'm in the new database. Sorry!
Scud Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 Thanks for the explanation. I see these "server migrations" cause big problems at work. You never realize how reliable something is until it doesn't work. I don't recall a problem with this site ever before. That's pretty darn good. Still here... and this is still my favorite place to hang out and talk about motorcycles.
BigBlock Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 What Scud said, and thanks Jaap for all the work you put into this site.
LowRyter Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Severe Migration? My God Man, I hope You're OK. Are you in the hospital? Is it painful? 1
