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

Thanks for getting it sorted PSJ.

I literally did nothing except wait!

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.

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?

emordnilap · Post by **emordnilap** » 09 Oct 2013, 10:53

It'll be here.

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.

Same here.
