recent posts not showinghttp://thebrittanyforum.myfreeforum.org/index.phpsearched: missing posts I have noticed some of my recent posts are now not showing (they were this morning). I have also had a member email me to say the same. i have checked the logs and no deletions have occurred. The other odd thing to have happened this morning is the 'recent posts' filter I have on the main index page disappeared for no apparent reason. I tried saving the template file again (without modification) and it still did not show - but now does. |

Your forum has moved servers. I think it possible that it was moved twice leaving it in two places at some point in time  I am afraid that this has left some posts lost. I apologise for this.

Fair enough - at least we didn't do something to mess it up.
Considering the service you provide a small price to pay IMHO. |

Once again my apologies. 2,500 forums have been moved so far, and thus far your is the only issue reported.
Not much consolation if you are effected, but in the wider free forums world people finding forums totally lost or backups systems that are a month out of date is very common. Forum move procedures are being constantly improved with the aim that if there is a problem with the transfer is always gets properly aborted and the forum left on the old server (the system always copies and never deletes from the old server). In this case it seems somehow the transfer did report an error but your users somehow in part or in whole were seeing the version on the new server. This then got overwritten when the transfer was reattempted
