Activity: 0% Longevity: 100% | | New Server Update.. Any issues? - Problems with Forum ?
So I'm just about done moving the site to a new server.
There were some issues with the move I did a few days ago, and because of that we lost some data between then and now. Long story short, I screwed up when moving the first time. Apparently the site was still using my old server as a database... and once I shut the server down at 12:30 am this morning, the forum was shut down as well. I just spent the last 8 hours piecing most of the forum together. Everything should be functional, I just have a few more things to add and settings to tweak and it should be okay for the most part.
If you have any issues, please let me know and I'll try to address them.

Can't access any of my PM's, they are just showing up as 0.
Also, have we lost a lot of posts? I'm seeing posts from today, and then posts from the 6th of this month and before.

Not a prob
Although, all of my PM's have gone :O
Not that I really care about that...
Did you not do a direct impex import from your last forum dump? Or did you not create a fresh backup?

There was an error with the backup I had, no matter what it would keep giving me errors. So I decided to do a fresh install and import tables as needed. I tried to import PMs but it wouldn't accept them for some reason.
I could of swore I added reputation back in, I'll check on that.

Yeah. My PM inbox seems somehow huge too. It was full earlier now it's empty. Is the storage increased for PMs?

Activity: 0% Longevity: 98% | | Forum private message system broken
Okay I'm supposed to have 156 message in my inbox. 2 are still unread. But I go to control panel and it won't show me them and acts like my sent box is empty and says only 1 message from yesterday, which was from Modee saying don't make documents like he's scolding me though I haven't been to this board for over a week.
Anyone know what's going on? If you sent me a private message recently please resend it as the board software just made them inaccessible.

Yep. aspkin is aware of this problem. When the servers were changed, quite a few things including messages are not available. My understanding is that aspkin is going to rectify the problem. There is another problem (for me AND it's not only paypal) as to search now you need 4 characters not 3. Sure there is an
answer but? I am a blonde, just too much, too much.
Teething troubles only.
( no flags at present as well but Lord Leader is aware).

aspkin, maybe if I am lucky you are going to understand this first off. LOL. I have 945 posts according to the tally. However I can check only 500 as that is all that is stored. I have checked yours,modee,Mrs Luv,mantis. It is the same situation. Each has only a record of 500 posts. So there is lost info.
If you understand, YEAH will do for an answer. Or tell me you have done
something clever that I do not understand. LOL
