There is a backup of lost posts but it's a big process to merge it back on to the forum without shutting down the forum to do it.  Should be days not weeks or months.

So this is the sixth time I have tried writing this, I have a new phone and it is unforgiving.

I just wanted to say thank you to Micah and Steve for all they do.  I know it takes a lot of work behind the scenes to keep everything running as smoothly as it does, and that they do this in addition to having their own careers, lives, and families.

So thank you guys, I know you'll have us up and running as soon as you can.  To everyone who is frustrated, just give them time, things will be back to normal soon.

Again, thank you guys.

Looks mostly fixed?

Just some of the contraction apostrophe including some other characters like TM.

I think it's fixed?

Many thanks Whoey!!

Well the SAK Clubs and PST Chronology posts are back - Which is such a relief. -    :woohoo:      These were 'biggies' that I knew were missing     :salute:

This problem looked a bit ugly to me - with seemingly random posts lost all over the place
So I don't know what magic you worked Whoey - But we are all very grateful for it.    :tu:    :)

SAKWiki does seem to have the odd moments of unavailability - But usually comes back after a little while with no issues
