Well that didn't go too well.

Yes we've lost some data - anything posted on friday is gone forever!
I hope you can remember what you posted so you can do it again. I can't even remember what I had for breakfast.

Everything was running sweet after the move then I noticed someone on here mentioned those weird unicode characters instead of punctuation in some posts. I asked the tecs about that, and for some reason we ended up with a database overwrite and no restore point to get us back to where we were - just the original copy from the old server which is what we have now which is Thursday or something.

They have apologised.

Thanks Mike. You setting up the forum deserves our thanks every so often-what would we do without it?
