Iffy is a regular user and her profile and account are now missing after the crash yesterday. Her last posts were on this page, and you can see she didn't show up correctly.
http://forum.gateworld.net/threads/3...ounge/page7809
Please help. She probably won't be able to log in this afternoon.

[Bagpuss]

We can't reset her original account ,but if she logs in with the new account of Iffy1,then makes a post to the Probie queue,Sky or Tame can de-Probie her new account so she can join in the fun till her accounts are sorted out and merged by Greg .

This might/mightnot have been reported; Main threads (for example outside of Off Topic forum) one cannot quote posts, even multi quoting fails to work. Yet, in off topic area, quoting and multiquoting work just fine.

I am assumingthis isa unwanted qlitch

Yes we are receiving those

Further update on the current situation:

The SGA Characters and Relationships section is showing on the forum front as an empty section ,but new posts are being submitted.

However : the posts aren't currently showing up on the "New Posts " display ,and those of you who subscribe to those threads may not be recieving your notifications.

Hopefully this will be resolved asap.

Update about the SGA C/R folder :

Notification e-mails should be getting through ,as all posts are clearing ,but as the new posts search isn't showing the new posts to the SGA C/R threads ,things might be a little quiet till the forum "Header" gets tweaked and fixed by Greg or Darren.

[Bagpuss]

Ease up everyone please !

Give Darren a chance to catch up on events,and for us to track what's happened with the SGA Char threads and Doctor Who section .

DigiFluid : Greg will deal with the accounts asap.I can't give you an exact time when he'll be able to do that.In the meantime post as normal.

Strivaria : yes it was a site wide crash.Both the site and forums were affected and we were offline for something like 8 hours .

The GateWorld Gallery is down pending repair.

Look back through the thread if this answer doesn't cover your query .

Thanks !

[TameFarrar]

Okay folks.....If you are coming in here and re-posting a message that is maybe one or two posts above yours...at this point we are going to start deleting

Please READ a few posts BEFORE posting the issue since it a FORUM issue chances are someone else has probably also noted it. So instead of there being 5 posts telling us the same thing over and over take a minute to see if we have already posted the status of the issue

Thank You

All of these users have been taken care of if you run across any other user please direct them to re-register with teh SAME USER NAME adding a *1* at the end all other information should be the same for verication purposes and to then post in this thread. We will see it and work with the member.


If you do run across a thread OR a folder/Forum or any other aspect of the Main site that is not working that is NOT listed here please post it so we can adjust our updates and ensure Greg/Darren are aware of it.

Thank You

Where did the 'you were last logged on at XYZ time/date" thing go?

I believe that is now on your personal profile and not affected by the outage but if I am wrong please let me know and we will add it to the list of issues affected

Please be patient folks. Greg is on vacation at the moment, and while some things have been restored, there may be some that he can't get restored until he gets back to his main and home computer.

If a favorite thread has been lost and you want to restart one, that's fine. when/if greg can restore them, we'll happily merge the two together.

I was going to try that in the SGA forum but it keeps saying that its not excepting new posts. *sigh* I will do my best to remain patient.
