drfrankenstein: yes, i still need to re-implement your solution . I went from the backup with transferring all files, and ofcourse I fixed the anon bug right before everything went down so i don’t have it in the backups, i have to find the updated page locally on my computer. It’ll be fixed, there is so much to move and to do but I’ll get to it.
yay! even just the few days the page was down when u changed the server i had a hollow feeling inside of me when i used time on my comp (im a forumadict)
wissam: unfortunately not. I still do not have access to the backup files and it is unclear wether i ever will. The datacenter where the previous server was is still down and latest update is that it would take 2 months before they come back up. So if they are back after those two months i hope that i can get a recent backup (the one with the 2 weeks lost posts). Then I can manually retreive data from the database or maybe put it up as a tiny archive forum or something.
So I have moved the temp forum to the new server and made it the official forum, so all the lifeboat posts have been saved and moved to the appropriate subforums.
