if you look at the mappersforum you'll see there's a topic with replies missing, guess somethings wrong with the forum :/

Shuvit.Viper: I loved those little guys in Princess Mononoke.

Anyway, back to the issue.  The only thing I know, Chromeangel, is that nearly a whole thread mysteriously and inexplicably disappeared between yesterday and today.  Maybe other posts/threads got sucked into the ether as well?

Shuvit, if you want me to host your avatar then I'll be more than welcome to. Just e-mail it to me and i'll PM you the URL.

Freestyler

I remember another Ikonboard forum I used to use... this happened but it lost just about every post in every board. :/  We didn't find out what was wrong though, and CS uses IB and thats not gone wrong this way so it can't be a problem with too many posts..

MonsieurEvil

Can someone give me some specifics? 'A whole thread went missing', 'such and such a reply is gone'.

Specific titles?

Freestyler

Fromwhat I can gather, about 12 posts went misisn from the 'Detail or gameplay' thread in the mapping forum.  I never saw what the thread was like before it wne missins, but from the replies in it Its pretty obvious it did.

MonsieurEvil

Well, there were topics moved/deleted in the General and Off-Topic forums on the 10th and 11th, but without knowing the names I can't really give more details. Topics get modified or deleted all the time (double posts, flames, movement from one category to another, etc.).

Nooo! shuvit, don't do it!
it's a trap, he'll steal your avatar and beat it up with a crowbar!

lol, I don't trust Mart since that time he attached a nuclear warhead on my back and set it off  <!--emo&???--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo-->

MonsieurEvil

Just to finish this off, the topic was moved to Mapping a day ago, and looks fine to me. Is it missing data? It was rebuilt once as it had gotten its formatting wacked out, which could potentially have dumped 'invalid' data that wasn't actually invalid...

Shuvit_Viper

Mart, thank you very much. I will send it to you tomorrow, because right now im not at home, and i only have it at home.

ChromeAngel

When I first saw the 'detail or gameplay' topic in tyhe mapping forum it had just got to it's second page. I went back the next day and everything that had been there previously was missing and <s>Freestyler</s>Black Wolf was replying to a post that was no longer there.

[whine]What about my post count...[/whine]

Looks fine?  Did you try reading those first few posts?

Moleculor

Yeah, I saw the bug myself. Dunno what happened, as the thread is back.

Spyder_Monkey

Don't know if this is related, but Archon1us had me delete some of his threads on an old map he was posting new shots of. I took about 3 threads from the mapping forum, but they were all ancient history.

coil

Hmm.  Deleting threads will delete the associated posts... but were there that many posts in the threads?

Moleculor

Deleting posts will not, from what I have seen, reduce post count in any way.

coil

Really?  I've been on boards where it does.  Go Ikonboard!
