Yeah, just spotted it 15 mins ago or so. I was on a call with support when I saw this thread, and they're now escalating the ticket to the network operations center.

The logo is back. Hopefully that's a good sign. When I get home tonight I need to check if my ftp access is back, too -- but the only reason I needed it was to replace the logo...

And I have FTP access, and it looks like the boards' DB is stable again. But I'll be watching closely for a few days.

And the posts from last night are gone, while the posts from the night before are back


Are there two different paralell databases?

Dartz, can you be specific about what's vanished? I just confirmed that at least some posts from yesterday are still present.

Posts 6, 7, and 8 in this thread are back. The post that I made to this thread saying they were gone is gone.

Might be your cache, because nothing has changed in this thread for me since late Saturday -- in particular, I still see your post complaining that the other posts have disappeared. I've also been surveying the other fora and everything that I knew of for sure is still there.

I made a post about how I used the fic updates thread as a guide, and that's gone.

Crap. Okay, I know they still have the ticket open, if we're still seeing things disappearing by tomorrow I'll call my ISP and let them know.

This really feels like database replication issues. Possibly a cache issue but as far as I know you’re not using a cache.

5/3/2024 15:45 PM EDT. Another reset just occurred, jumping back to 5/1/2024.
I was reading a thread in Other People's Fanfiction when it happened.

Yeah. I just lost about 7 PMs when I was trying to read them.

Oh, fun. And the board logo has reverted again. I'll bet I can't ftp in again, either. Time to have another chat with Netcarrier.

Is something restoring from backups somewhere?

Looks like it - a post that I thought was gone is back.

Either restoring from MySQL binlogs or a really broken replication was fixed.

Okay, things should be back to normal, at least for the moment. I still don't know what the core issue was except they're still describing it as something unexpected/unanticipated, but the disappearing posts were because something happened to the primary machine they use to host websites, and they had to switch to a fallback machine, which apparently didn't have a recent image of the site on it. The fallback machine also wasn't set up to allow me to FTP in, which is what caused my timeout errors when I tried this and the previous time.

In any case, the ticket remains open should the glitch and the fallback happen again.

Well, we only lost one day's worth of posts. That's well within most service-level agreements.

Was it only one day's worth? I thought it was more.
