good to see the site is up and running again and whatever the problem was that it's sorted :) but what has happened to some posts? just checked my e-mail account and there are pm notifications and post replies but when i clicked the links to sea angling ireland the forum says the posts and pm's dont exist :?: :? :? :? :? :shock: checked my save message box and a load of my messages are no longer there :o :o :o :o heading to co louth, co meath next week for a week of fishing and arranged to meet up with some guys from the forum but all thier pm's i saved are gone :o :shock: :evil: :evil: gonna have to trawl the members lists and start pm people who's usernames i can remember. anyone know what the crack is with this?

I had problems logging in that jd just sorted out and have lost everything before the start of may. There is a thread in website development. Sounds as if the man is extremely busy fixing the database, but lost threads and pm are just an inconvienence and not the end of the world...

put a thread up in on the forum and ask those whose details you have lost to pm you ..saves alot of time rather than scrolling through the memberlist

as you can see ive also lost all of my previous posts...count yourself lucky!!

cheers gearoid, thankfully i've only lost 30 posts or so. it was more the contacts and the posts with info on mark locations and directions how to get there that i had saved from past posts over the last couple of years :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: had built myself a directory for next weeks fishing trip in my savebox. so if i dont meet up with someone next week who i'd promised to you'll know the reason why :cry: :cry: and despite the bugs, still a cracking wee site 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) developed and run by guys giving their time freely :wink: which should not only be recognised but also applauded :P

For the moment no, unless Uplinkearth locate a more recent backup.

Great to see things back up and running,,,well done guys. Really is a terriffic site. I've just read this thread and realised that some of my posts are gone. I've been saving all my reports to a folder on my own pc so that i can have a record for the year so even though theyre gone from the site i still have them.

Hi JD, do you know what happened, I would hate to think my own forum would go down as I would have to start it from all from the beginning again.
