Well, the forum and homepage are fully restored! However, I did not have a backup of the wiki, so we'll have to rebuild that...

Yes, because it's current as of 2am today. It's missing anything from 2am to 9pm today.
If it's not here, I unfortunately don't have any way to recover it. This was the most recent backup.

I really do understand the problems caused by IT crashes and don't envy you trying to put it back.
Please don't think I am trying to be clever but I think that the OS emulation on the WIKI board has a " missing from the beginning of the batch file command. Well thats the only way I could get it to work!
Keep up the good work.

it looks like all file attachments in the forum are gone... (pictures, pdf's etc) was this due to the upgrade / fix?

Uh what? The files should still be there! The database crash didn't effect the files, just the forum posts for a single day. They are fine here: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=39it looks like all file attachments in the forum are gone... (pictures, pdf's etc) was this due to the upgrade / fix?
Can you give me an example where they are missing?

I'm mostly seeing this in the F-Series board in hacks & mods... and then under the knobs thread and some of the other threads...
All the pics in this first post are gone (and one is just messed up lol)
Not sure if it had to do with your maint. or if they removed them?

Wow, um, that's not good. I had no idea that there were any files affected. Unfortunately, I don't have any way of getting them back.
Hopefully the original posters have them and can re-upload them.
