ClubSNAP Forums Database damaged

Edmund · 4th December 2007

Dear ClubSNAPpers,

It is with a heavy heart

that I bring the bad news that due to a severe database corruption, we have lost all threads/posts/private messages/new members that were created in the past 18hrs since our last backup (between Dec 3, 3:45am till the time of corruption which was approx Dec 3, 11:45pm).

For those affected, please repost your threads/posts so that we can recapture the missing pieces somewhat. For new members who signed up during this period, you should be able to re-register again using the email addresses and ids that you used earlier.

Do note that only forums database was affected, galleries and ClubSNAP's Photography Directory were not affected.

Thank you for keeping us posted.,

Admins have done a gret job here. It is alright for us to do as requested. Suspected something was amiss when a couple of my postes "disappeared". No technology is 100% error free.

OlyFlyer · 4th December 2007

Thanks Edmund for the information. I missed this, but checking my posts today, I noticed they were all gone. Too bad, but not much we can do. I have re-posted my comments, at least the ones I remembered.

Edmund and Clubsnap team thanks for getting the service back online for us again!

We understands the time and effort taken by you and your team for keep this forum running. It's not easy task!
