hard disk failure Sep 08, 2006
The hard disk on our server failed so we lost all our data. :(
The freshest backup of Dubai Forums was done on the 5th of September.
I'm apologizing for all lost messages.

Hopefully this will help people whos posts got deleted. It definately helped me with my missing (and kind of long) post!
IF you viewed your post, or maybe even previewed it before/after submitting etc, you should be able to recover it from your browser history (provided you keep any history).
Make sure your in offline mode, and go to History and search for your posts for thte past 1 or 2 or 3 days.
Then just copy/paste like I did in a new post!

Pretty simple. Hope it sounds like it!

Good luck!!

Well, I'll be damned!!! Had some good posts, and was getting into some serious material w/ Shaf, and others..........

Tried to get on last evening after several glasses of wine, and couldn't pull up the website at all, so there you go!

Guess we'll give it another go!
