Edit: Might be something wrong with my ISP, I rebooted my system and couldn't even log onto Google, after a minute back again, so at this stage I would ignore this post!!
Ok, and thanks for letting me know, cuz sometimes people say "something's wrong" and they find out it's not, but no one ever tells me so I go on checking things.

All by "responed in" tick marks dissapeared and all topics have been tagged as read.

Hope you get it squared away I know how frustrating this can be.

There goes all that end of year fund drive

edit... hell now there all back ... still all tagged as read though.
Yeah, I updated the forums to the latest version last night, so that may have wonked the threads read, log in "remember me" type stuff. The good thing is:
  • No posts were lost
  • So far as I can tell, none of my dozens of tweaks were broken
  • Downloads did not break
  • Ranks and avatars survived
  • Entire db is backed up (well, it is nightly)
  • Running latest version of vB
  • No security problems.
Left to do:
  • Get an SQL expert to really check the db for problems.
  • Find a nice way to archive 2005-2008 threads and prune them from the db. That's proving harder than I thought, I would have expected vB to have a system in place for this.
