:oops: pppffwwwwww my hart is still racing as I type this. I was working on the mysql database on the webserver, had phpmyadmin open in two Firefox tabs ... clicked the EMPTY button to clear a table ... but did this in the WRONG tab, didn't look at the warning, clicked OK ... and accidentally removed ALL 20.543 forums posts ...

* PANIC *
* F***CK * !!!!!

Thank god our host very quickly restored the table from the backup so not all is lost. "Only" the forum posts between 11 Oct 2009 16:20 and 12 Oct 2009 18:30 are gone.

I'm very sorry for this :cry:

Lessons learned?
1: Don't experiment in a live server!
2: Read the warnings on a dialog! Don't just click OK!
3: Paying big bucks for good hosting is worth every penny: NXS.nl saved my ASS!

Ah, that explains a lot. Any thread that had posts on Oct 12th still shows activity, but not the post. Check out the thread on the Timeswitcher over on the Resolume 3 Feedback forum. The second page duplicates the last posts on the first page.

Some kind of database rebuild might be needed?
