Yes, the forum was fixed, updated the software, and the deleted sections recovered

Posted: Tue Jun 27, 2006 10:51 amFor some reason when the database was restored from tape the 'topics' table did not restore correctly. It may have been locked if some body happened to be browsing when the restore started.
I restored only the topics table this morning. So now the joins from the 'forum' table to the 'posts' and 'posts text' tables is now intact.
The good news is all lost data was recovered and appears to be valid.
Unfortunitely any topics created yesterday will need to be manually joined back to the posts, as the topic table was restored to last Wed. I.E. - The posts and text exists but the topic record is gone.
I just need to know a name for the topic (any name), poster (screen name), and the forum it was in and I can recover it.
Thanks,
Rich
