    I think he/she means some messages (and posts) have disappeared period. I can't see a couple replies I posted today. I guess it has something to do with the downtime the forum had today.

    I saw that today was a problem with the forum. It was down all day. Maybe it is a problem with back up on old database.

    There was about a 90 minute from the wee hours of this morning (Pacific time) that may have been affected. The data center where our equipment is at had a power issue and for some reason (I don't know what that is yet) all their backup systems failed for a bit... so long story short is there was a total power outage. While bringing our cluster back online, there was some issues with the database and rather than keep the site down for longer and see if I could work around corrupted data, I opted to go with a backup that was taken 90 minutes before the outage to expedite getting everything back online.

    This is where equipment is housed: https://www.scalematrix.com/

    I heard through the grapevine there might have been a transformer on their street that exploded... but that doesn't explain why there was an outage in the building. Clearly something failed in their backup power systems.

    I guess sh*t happens, but I'm going to follow up next week to make sure they at least learn from what happened and improve their power redundancy so it's not something that can happen again.

    This is the notice we received from them:

    I see no posts from you made yesterday. From Digitalpoint's post above, the missing post may have been related to the data center problem yesterday morning.

    I am going to let digitalpoint comment regarding how to proceed regarding reposting.
