Im good, I appreciate the thought though

' I have the IBD files and I tried recovering from them but its a very manual process and you need to delete all indexes and what not before you can relink the FRM files to IBD but there were a lot of tables that were failing that relink so I was worried about the integrity if I did it that way. I ended up restoring from a clean backup on the 21st. Backups are run daily but since we had no disk space all backups were truncated part way through due to no disk space. I was on vacation unfortunately so I wasn't keeping an eye out Sorry

Everyone, I apologize for the site being down for the better part of the week. I had been out of town with limited connectivity. So we ran out of disk space (again) and it caused some DB corruption. Due to some unfortunate timing I had to restore the DB to Dec 21st. I apologize for the inconvenience caused and I will be working next week to add additional storage to the server so these issues will stop.

Can you check now?

Can you try now?

Thanks for the suggestion but the problem with larger amounts of posts is that in ones with large amounts of images it can really slow the computer down, especially in older mobile phones. Also a lot of legacy links from other websites will break due to them pointing to specific pages. Sorry we cant be of more help

It should be back. Let me know

We own our own servers and I have a backup server as well, but it was mostly I just didnt have enough time to fix the issue. Otherwise it would have only been a few hour outage. But thanks for the info.

Yes, I spent too much time trying to isolate the bad table but ultimately just restored it from a previous nightly backup. So we lost ~1days worth of data but not the end of the world I suppose.

DB corruption and the fact I was super swamped with other things I needed to take care of over the weekend, I could only get an hour or two to work on it per day so I could never resolve the issue Last night I stayed up till 2am and got it working Sorry everyone!

I will look into the spoiler thing. Looks like the forum deleted that option on the last release .....

Hmmm strange, I dont see that on mine 😐

DB corruption. Got an alert at 2am and took a look but it wasnt an easy fix so went back to bed. Just fixed it now. Sorry about that

no idea, guess someone was angry at us

Please try now.

Can you please check? Thanks.

We ran out of disk space earlier due to all the logging we enabled while we were under attack. I fixed it earlier today, can you please confirm? thanks.

Can you try now? Thanks.

"A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt the normal traffic of a targeted server, service or network by overwhelming the target or its surrounding infrastructure with a flood of Internet traffic."

someone is doing a DDOS attack on the website. They got a hold of our non public IPs and have been hitting them hard. Our provider has been able to mitigate the majority but the filters have to be adjusted every now and then based on the changes in the attack. sorry!
