Restore completed

[MP Guy]

We are back up with a restore from 2 days ago on the post and threads table only.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Just think of it as RFF being closed for the weekend.

[FrankS]

Bummer, lots of good stuff lost over the last 2 days.

But thanks for the maintenance to keep RFF going strong.

How about PM's sent in the last day but not picked up, are they still there or gone too?

[FrankS]

The "Are photographers loners?" thread was a good one.

[CameraQuest]

An unknown number of files and threads were corrupted and missing.

The thread restore as of Aug 2 restored the missing threads, but we lost all posts between the restore and this morning.

Galleries, classifieds, and PM messages were not affected.

Finally!
Was getting worried about this Restore that keep "things" online forever...
The inconvenient thread is gone...
See how good is digital! Never exist before! Vanished! No paper to track or shred!

No History, so, no learning! No trackable either....


Keep up the good work!! Seriously!

Too bad that "my funniest comment" occurred yesterday!
Glad that RFF is back now.

I have to make a point to be funny again!

Hey, Frank, I missed that one as I have been rather busy lately. Since it's apparently lost, can you summarize it in some fashion which perhaps will trigger further commentary?

Thanks,
Randy

Yesterday never happened. No evidence of yesterday at RFF exists (galleries, classifieds...details details) :D

Somehow it's Saturday afternoon all of the sudden...

[MP Guy]

The restore did not affect gallery or classifieds. It only affected threads and posts. And for the record, it's Tuesday afternoon right now.

Gabriel,
So we lost two days of our lives!
Can this loss ever be compensated?
Could a free Bessa R2 or R3 or a CV lens make up such a terrible memory loss?

I wonder ...

[Ken Ford]

Down the memory hole we go...

[reagan]

CLA of Zorki.6 thread ... gone. Lots of work; detail and pics. And I think I remember http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/images/icons/icon3.gif a thread where Stephen was giving away free CV lenses ...and stuff ...right?

[Ken Ford]

And where Joe decided to sell all his RF gear for a Canon DigiReb and a case of Molson... right?

[back alley]

what's a canon digireb?

;)

[FrankS]

Such is the nature of existence: all is transitory and impermanent. :p

[Al Patterson]

The "Are photographers loners?" thread was a good one.

I was too busy being a loner to participate in that one...

Too bad I missed some of it.

So you're not disputing the Molson part?

[back alley]

molson is now owned by coors and they just closed down the brewery here in edmonton.
gotta love foreign investment...

even with the backup i am still content.

Gabriel,
So we lost two days of our lives!


And without the use of drink or drugs. Wow, this interweb thing is amazing :D

I think you may just have....;)

So I was just checking around. I thought something fishy was up, I saw a thread marked deleted by me (it was SPAM) 2 hours ago. Now, 2 hours ago I was not deleting SPAM. But I looked at the post, and I don't remember deleting it 2 days ago either. Oh well, I guess I have to pay more attention to what I am doing around here.

[back alley]

after the restore all the posts were marked at 2 days ago.

[pesphoto]

Bummer, lost a couple nice threads from today. No worry, thanks for keeping the site going Jorge. Can we restart a couple threads? The loner one and the one about My wanting to buy a Hexar? Oh well.

Just buy the Hexar already, you know you want to. :p

And I never did read it. Were you looking at the RF version of the earlier fixed lens variant?

Domo arigato.

Thanks for the explanation.

At first I was a little bit irritated when I came back this morning and didn´t find the posts of Friday eveníng (+1 gmt). I was just about to contact rff´s against censorship when I saw the explanation.

So everything is okay again. Keep on going, you guys do a great job by running this forum. Thanks for that, too.

I lost my most brilliant, incisive and wise post to date. Well, the hell with it, mere words at best.

Oddly, though, I had something like 1800+ posts last week and now I'm down to 1500, or something like that.

I assume Jorge deleted the ones he didn't like. That's what good editors do, throw out the crap.

[NIKON KIU]

An unknown number of files and threads were corrupted and missing.

Didn't affect the Nikon forum one bit :angel:

It seems like there's a block of posts missing. I can't find any mention of the Konica 35mm UC-Hexanon after September 2006. I know there were more recent posts, because I was searching for it regularly just recently.
