There was just one thread at the Alexis board that had posts - the Navigation and Intro thread. So luckily we now have a list of all the threads we used to have.

And also, the links still work to the threads that had been started before July 05, though they have been deleted from the board. But I'm guessing we need to start new threads to replace them anyway, right? Going to start doing that now.

Thanks for all your hard work guys!

Yeah, this is one old siggy!

We also have half empty threads that were already closed, but the posts are there. Should we delete those too? Or just start new ones.

^Same thing on our Board.

Threads with "missing posts" are ok right?..they're ok from the beginging, it's not like the thread master list some boards have..it's just that some threads have less posts then I remember they had..those don't need to be deleted and started over right?

I was under the impression the June '05 back up would take us back to the board and threads as they stood in June '05? As things stand now, there's no sign of our News, FAQs, Intro threads etc; only a few random topics with nothing in them. We appear to have lost everything despite the board's longevity.
I had a couple of unattractive choices when restoring the posts: one was to just go with the June 2005 backup. The other was to go with a partial April 2006 backup. I ended up going with the latter because it meant recovering more posts overall, but the partial backup was just that, partial - meaning some things in between were probably going to be lost. I know things are a bit of a mess now, but it shouldn't take us too long to get back to normal. After all, most boards take only a day or two to cycle through all the threads on their first page.

Yeah, if threads have any posts in them, they don't have to be deleted. I leave it to you folks to decide how best to sort partial threads out.

I can't change my icon, it says 'remote file is too large'. Looks like we're back to 45x45/12 kB.

It was a problem with the MST user group, should work now.

It does, thanks.

But... I can't send PMs. I can read PMs - they are not gone! - but if I click on someone's profile, the PM option is missing.

ETA: I can't access the polls:

Try again, looks like it was another MST problem.

I realized what's wrong. Too late though. I keep forgetting we're back in 2005.

I would say delete the thread, or I can delete it.
