Ugh, those 'big' disasters that require a full restoration of a database backup do bad things to me. I need single malt and valium.

I've been told things might be 'missing' around the site.
To explain what happened -- I did a full database backup (via mysqldump) at 12:37a ET. Then I proceeded to work on updating a piece of our existing software, to a current version, in order to try to resolve some errors it's been generating. At 12:41a ET, the upgrade script they provided choked on database changes, making the site implode. Shortly thereafter, I closed the forum and restored the database backup.
Anything that was done on the site between 12:37am and roughly 12:45am (saying that's roughly when I closed the site down) will have been lost. So if you posted during that period, sent a pm, repped someone, etc., then you'll need to do it again as there's no recovering it.
That's why I do these big ugly things in the wee hours of the weekends most often. That's our slowest time, and affords less bloodshed if/when things go wrong.
Apologies for any inconvenience. Do let me know if anything from outside of that window of time is broken or otherwise missing.
