After a bit of downtime, the forums are back - although it looks like a bit of data has been lost?

I literally did nothing except wait! :oops:
But thanks! :)

Sometimes waiting is all you can do...

Is this something to do with the US and GCHQ? Perhaps they should give back the data. :wink:

Some data has been lost, though not much.

There again, you can do other stuff whilst waiting. :)

There seem to be a few threads missing. Or maybe I dreamt them.

There is definatly at least one missing, that I started "stocking up for future generations" or some similar title.

And some PMs that I sent have gone.

Was it a hacker attack or something else?

I am interested because another forum I was a member of was also attacked about a month ago. Maybe the people in charge are thinking that the peasants are discussing things they should not be?

Something is still wrong, since a post that I made in this thread AFTER the outage has disappeared.

I was expecting a PM to be waiting for me, but it's not there, so another casualty I guess?

Yes, IIRC I sent to you a PM before the outage in which I expressed concern regarding error messages.
The PM has vanished.

I see this message:

Failed sending email :: PHP ::
DEBUG MODE
Line : 234
File : emailer.php

when I make a post, but then when I click index it all seems ok.
