Forums back up

Post by Pikachu3828 »

Sadly half the forum data was lost during the backup and half was intact - this did not work out too well as a lot of information conflicted and it basically didn't work together very well so I opted for using the old backup entirely. Sadly this means anything after August 9th at 11:34pm and before now has been lost on the forums.

Still, we're back up now and I'm confident we can take back the hundreds of posts lost, and more!

Never more am I doing this, however, I had to manually cut and paste sections of the backup into the query window since the file was just too big to run in one single neat package as I would've liked, turned out to be over 20KB in size overall o_O

I have restored everything except for two tables that aren'ty required for it to run. Those work the search engine, and I really can't be bothered to do them as the'yre not necessary for it to run, and I have two other important things to do right now: homework and sleep. So search won't find any posts older than this, sadly. I think it works by words though, so by me typing the word "Pokémon" once it should now find all posts containing the word "Pokémon" when I type it into the search bar. I'lltry it after I post this message.

Anywho, I'm off now, sorry about all this, I've learnt my lesson and that is to make regular backups!
