I messed up the forums

[Tjerk]

While changing some aspects of the forums I accidentally deleted the connections between the forum software and the website itself. I had to re-install the forum software to get the forum working again but unfortunately all the previous posts are gone. Also, everybody will need to re-register again as well. I do have all the attachments that were uploaded before saved on my harddrive and will sort those out to see which ones can be uploaded to The Archive. In the upcoming days I will try to get the forum look like the old one again, colors and smilies and such.

My apologies for this mess-up.

backup early, backup often.....

[Tjerk]

That's a great idea but I have no idea how to do that. I can't find any option in the forums software to back up the forum.

edit: yippy, I just found out that MyBB supports making backups from within the Admin CP from version 2.0 onwards... and the stuff crashed out on me when I was trying to upgrade from 1.1.5 to 2.0 How ironic.

Well, messed, up now back to somewhat CRHQ colors

[Tjerk]

I have found a 3rd party back up module that is now installed on this forum. It will allow me to make regular backups which should help in case of any future mishaps.

um, speaking of the colors......

i'm finding this very hard to read - the orange on black screams at my eyes. is this what it's going to be, or will there be other choices available?

edit: the "view printable version" is ok, but non-interactive.
