PMs disappearing?

[maxyedor]

Anybody else having problems with their PMs? I have sent a few recently and gotten a "your message has been sent" screen, but the recipient hasn't received them and later they disappeared from my "sent" folder. Then just now I saw I had some new PMs and when I checked, they were ones I received over the weekend and have already replied to, but they show up again as new, and the replies are gone, along with replies to my replies. What gives? Are the men in black suits watching me and deleting my PMs in an attempt to get me to think I'm insane and commit myself to a mental institution so they can steal my DNA, is the PM system just on the fritz, do I need a tinfoil hat?

You have PMS? That must suck...

I wish some of my PMs would disappear, my inbox is almost full again so I'm going to have to go in and delete some.

I'll keep an eye out for any similar problems. You might drop Tony a PM (or email!) and let him know directly.

Something similar just happened to me. I received an alert to my e-mail address that I had received a PM, I was able to read it at my e-mail address, but when I went to the LRR Forum, there was no PM waiting for me in my inbox.? Coincidentally, it was the PM you sent me! :thinking:

I don't..........they do. I live with 4 women. Let's see, 1 week per month, times 4, at 12 months per year, equals.......perpetual misery! 'Sorry, couldn't resist. Even if it is true.

Well, there does seem to be some sort of a database error occurring on the site. I subscribe to several of the forums on here and get an email summary notification of all the new threads in those forums every evening. When I clicked on the links to read those posts, they were gone. I'll let Tony know if he doesn't already...

I think this is what happened....

My provider moved us to a new server.. I think the did a backup and
restore. When the moved us over I think we lost the data from the time
the did the transfer till the time we went live.

I think that why stuff is missing and not there. I suspect we may have
lost a 1/2 day worth of data.. Just my guess, I am checking with provider
but they should have been more careful.

Sorry guys,
Tony

Is anyone actually getting any database errors or our we just missing some posts, threads and pm's?

At this point I think it's just PMs and threads (and maybe posts as well) that are simply Missing In Action.

Everyone should log out, clear their cache and then log back in.
They are saying that we should not have lost any data but I think
we may have lost some posts and messages between the time
we moved to new server.

Please let me know if anyone has any new issues from this point
forward and I will look into it.

Thanks!

Tony.................Could the glitch be the reason for one of today's posts on the Bottdorf thread, "Hey, where did the last couple of posts go?"
