Some Data Missing in Forum

AHA! the gremlins strike again! I have spent the better part of my life hunting down these furry little creature(yes they are furry, how else do you account for all the fuzz in computer cases?) So far i have found no known agent that repels the little mongrels. What I do know is:
1. they are relentless
2. though they can't speak they have a firm understanding of murphy's law and use it against us
3. if you do find one you must not show it to your wife before killing it, she will think its cute and allow it to go free
4. they prefer non-stock or ungraded systems to play in
5. they seem to be able to teleport using internet connctions as a guide to safely do so
and...
6. THEY EXIST!

I have to laugh at my confusion. Loging on and reading my "unread" posts I had this feeling of deja vu all over again. It felt like last week! I've been here before! Then I read Rick's post about using an old backup.

This leads to the obvious question...Was anything that was said in the last few days (that which is now lost forever)...was ANY of it really important? While I love to read this forum regularly, my answer had to be, sadly, no.

I predict we will survive the lost posts.

Hey! I had some profound moments in there somewhere...didn't I? We lost all that talk about the spectacular support crew available in the land down under!

I feel for you, Jake. You know some of the best things I have never said I haven't thought of yet.

Or as the Old Indian saying goes..,

It is a chilly wind that blows softly on the willow.

Dear Rick and Mary, I'm feeling a little guilty now...I still don't get the whole page

I'm not sure now whether I only "dreamed" about the female back up crew in Australia or if I only dreamed that I dreamed of them??

The reason you are still not getting the whole page is that the whole thing failed.., and we are starting over. It may be some time today before the format of the template is changed.., it is a rather large undertaking.
Rick

OK, looks like it is now fixed.., except for the missing Forum data. Let me know if you are having any problems, OK?
Rick

Home page looks great at 100% width

Like John said, the Home Page looks terrific! Significant improvement, Rick! Thanks!

Yes! And thank you to everybody who said something about it, because when I complained about it, he thought it was just ME.

3rd that.....it looks GREAT!!!!

It was just Mary! But now the home page comes through 100% on my machine too. Scary
Good job Rick.

Terry

Yes MARY, and as a woman you should never, never, let him forget it!!

Well sometimes men think woman are.........(attachment)

Very flattering, Mike. Looks like the difference between the controls for a golf cart and a jet airplane.

LOL.......I did say...... sometimes .

Rick,

How regularly do you take full and incremental backups ?

Might be worth taking a backup before the next maintenance is planned.

Simon,
If you read back through Rick's post you will see that he did take a backup BEFORE the site change, but it had some form of corruption. ergo the site had to be backdated to a previous backup that was two days older

I'd not read that bit, Sorry Rick; However the comments do still stand.

Full backups you just "go back to" and then re-apply incrementals to; for example I do a full backup of my PC once a 1/4 to DVD and I also run a mirror drive for my main C and Z drives to an external Y drive for the really important stuff; I also take incremental backups monthly or after I have new and important stuff. Would not want to loose the spec to my new boat would I

Simon, that inter 17 looks beautiful.

Out of curiosity, is there a lot of cat sailing in the UK? I know cats were quite popular on the Atlantic coast in France last time I went. Might I recommend the french ebay if you're trying to sell your boat?

Wish I could purchase my dream house in Arcachon. I'd buy your boat in a snap.

Thanks;

Cat sailing is not soo popular in the UK, but then sailing as a whole is VERY popular. To give some idea, at the club (inland lake) I sail at we have approx 2000 members and of this, we have about 200 cats tied to the ground. We only get a few (max in the last year) of around 20 cats out on a Sunday, but there might be 100 boats in total for the club fleet. A few years ago (not suure if still true now) sailing was the second most participation sport after fishing !

Now I like that part of France !
