tss Posted January 31, 2000 Share Posted January 31, 2000 please don't tell me that all 30,000 plus posts have been lost. It will just be too painful to think of all that great info. as being lost. Of course I don't know anything about this BBS software, but if the programmers encoded the message identifiers using signed 16-bit integers, then the wraparound point is at 32767 messages... - Tommi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark IV Posted January 31, 2000 Share Posted January 31, 2000 ...so would that still be recoverable? It's a relief to have it back, anyway. As I posted to c.s.i.p.g.w-h <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>It's as though the corner bar just closed, and I'm sitting out on the sidewalk drinking out of a paper bag, waiting for the other regulars to show up. Wretched state of affairs.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>This also shows the need for a rally point when the operation goes sour (Ambush 101), which should be combathq or c.s.i.p.g.w-h. I thought maybe it was cancelled because of the spontaneously-developing CM convention in Vegas ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Thomas William Davie Posted January 31, 2000 Share Posted January 31, 2000 I couldn't reregister with either my name that I was using, or my 'home' email address Nah, I'd bet money that it's backed up, and if not...oh well, **** happens unfortunately.

Doug Beman Posted January 31, 2000 Share Posted January 31, 2000 Interesting. If, when you first registered, you told Windows to remember your password and put it in automatically, you're fine. DjB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Thomas William Davie Posted January 31, 2000 Share Posted January 31, 2000 Ah, but Doug I did tell Windows 98 to remember my password. And then, when I was officially finished with the Windows 2000 beta test at work, I instakked it on my home PC. So there's my problem Tom ------------------ email address: thodavie@videon.wave.ca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JonS Posted January 31, 2000 Share Posted January 31, 2000 Can't help with the log-on, but the good news is that the threads are still out there. Somewhere. Try searching for a topic you know will generate hits ("Maneri" for eg ) and you'll see hits from the last month and year. Bad news is you have to know what you're looking for, or what it might be aliased with, but still, its better than that they just vanished!

Dschugaschwili Posted January 31, 2000 Share Posted January 31, 2000 Was there anything wrong with the board during the weekend? Looks quite normal to me at the moment. And if there was, I'm glad I didn't have internet access then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximus Posted August 8, 2001 Share Posted August 8, 2001 Ahhh, this is a thread from the time I lost my original name of "Wehrmacht" because I tried posting when the server was down and it lost myregistration info when it tried to update my post number. At least that's what Steve or Charles said back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
