Did you delete all the posts from here Mark? It's the only forum which appears to have lost it's posts. |
| ||
oo crikey :/ ah well, not much of a loss, this one, is it? at least the programming forums survived. |
| ||
Hi, No (well, not intentionally) - I tried *really* hard not to delete anything! |
| ||
I have the html files up to around 20th January 09 - last thread in my copy was 'USB Permissions'. I don't think there is anything to worry about in restoring the forum if it has been lost though. |

Puki - as I told you over on syntaxbomb - you can't restore the contents of an SQL table from a bunch of HTML files. Sure, you have the messages, but the SQL table will contain a bunch of other data identifying which thread/id each post belongs to etc. Without the SQL table structure and its contents, what you have serves no use as a server backup. |

you can't restore the contents of an SQL table from a bunch of HTML files True... but what you could do if you were so inclined is write a script which goes thru and scans the HTML files to create an insert sql file... ;-) I know what Simon (/Mark?) was trying to do with this extra forum, but IMHO it seemed to create a mess in the General Discussion forum where we had quite a few moved topics (since it creates a post which points to the moved one)... do we still need this one? |

I think the line between this and general discussion was always a little fuzzy to some people. That or people just posted there anyway because they thought more people would notice their thread in General Discussion. Personally I like having a separate help section. |

There were quite a few interesting and useful posts here, would be a bit of a shame if they're gone. |

So, there was some disturbs over the BlitzBasic forums. Weird. Well, now most of the stuff is working again. |
