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.

Would that be a reason for my inbox showing 4 new messages but having no such messages in the folder?

Thought that happened to me last week, but it was just that the "today" section was collapsed and I didn't notice it. Probably not the case here, but FWIW...

Hmmm that wasn't it either Deety...I just emptied it out and it seems fine now. It was time anway...6000+ in there.

If someone PMd me and didn't get a response...I apologize.
