Hi people,
since several users have been complaining, to clear up things:
We had issues with the Apache server here, so from Sunday to Monday I have been working on a complete reinstall of Apache/PHP. During a required reboot of the database server, parts of the posts database corrupted, and I had to put a backup in place. This lead to some posts to be replaced with older versions.
This revoked changes to posts that were made before the server migration, and should have kept posts made after the migration untouched. This should therefore affect only those threads where you maintain updated posts on the first pages, of which we have rather many on our site.
I'm really sorry about this, but since I didn't have a newer backup, all I can do is ask you to redo the changes you made. Having learned from this failure, a backup script is now in place, and should a table failure like this ever happen again, we'll lose less data.
However, since the new server is set up completely now, I hope this kind of failure won't happen again.
Sorry again, and have fun!
