PBS is back up. Apologies for taking so long to get it back up. No data forum wide was lost. Posts counts I believe have also corrected themselves

No, the post counts have not corrected themselves, Martin.  I looked at my own count and saw it was off, so I had to correct mine.  You may have to look further into it as I think everyone is in the same situation.

Thanks for taking care of this. :) I don't even remember what my post count was before so I'll just leave it at that unless someone else remembers what it was. Patrick, do you recall?

We can recount posts but unfortunately that means the people who came from TWCC would have their numbers set back to before they made the switch.

Well when we merged members we manually combined post counts. So if Bob at a TWCC account with 1000 posts and a TWCT account with 100 we just made it 1100. A recount would set "Bob" to 100.  I'll look and see if I cant just transfer the old posts over

Good luck, lol... It took me a few days to import the TWCC database over, it may take longer ot search for the users... TWCC user IDs start at 10000, so have fun!  :happy: If I hadn't switched job positions, I would help :(

The other option is that I can look at each profile for members who request an accurate count and manually set the counts to what they should be.  However, Matt already deleted the TWCC forum, so I can't determine how many posts everyone had on that forum to add to what they've posted here for a total count.  I would need some way to find out to complete this task for everyone.  Martin, it's up to you on how you want to proceed with this issue.

Agreed. Not a big deal in my opinion.

Fine, back on topic. The PBS is back up, but it's an old backup.

Okay, okay.  Sorry I even brought it up. :hmm:  I'm just doing my job of reporting any errors or problems and was only offering help if it was needed.  I'm so used to reporting and correcting number issues at work that it's a natural thing for me to notice.  If you guys don't think it's a big deal, then it's fine with me.

Patrick, I'm like you are. Although I doubt people look very closely at post counts, I always like having the "correct" number too. :yes: However, I can understand that others couldn't care less no matter what. (If you want to go in and manually change my post count, it was 3007. :P)

Thank you for doing your job. I appreciate it. :)

Fine, back on topic. The PBS is back up, but it's an old backup.

Martin said earlier that the PBS backup would have to be from last Sunday. ;) Although...I don't see any posts missing (guess I can't remember what was posted after Martin's Macy's Thanksgiving parade picture), and it is nice to see the PBS back up and working with the posts from the temporary topic merged in with the thread.
