I'm still down around 100 posts but not that concerned about it.
IMHO when you post a message on a public forum, you are granting the forum the right to display the content you have created in perpetuity*. Once you hit [Post] or [Send] its out of your control.
* unless the forum offers users a more restrictive content creators license, granting the users more rights.

Everybody makes mistakes, just that Dave has been consistent in having a backup that is current. More importantly, that backup works! +1000% for Dave having that, and for Gnif spending his weekend hours and into the wee hours to fix things.
Dave, you do not pay Gnif enough.

This is very strange.
When I look at the first 3 pages of your post history, there are none in the Deleted folder.
Sorry Dave, I did delete that pet peeve post a day after posting it as I felt the language might have been out of order in retrospect.
TBH I'm very reluctant to make any further detailed posts to help members until the forum proves its trustworthiness.

With hindsight maybe we should have gone back several days in the backup and just ate a couple of thousand new posts maybe (the forum gets about 800 new posts a day IIRC), it seems that something was screwed up.

Whatever time your little faux pas has cost you members collectively have lost more.

Seriously?
It looks like this was a bug in the forum software, it wasn't me being reckless pushing the wrong button, it was an unforeseen issue. Shit happens and we did the best we could to revover from it.
It's been a rather streesful few days and I don't appreciate this response.

Was that post in the last day or so?
I see no history of any deleted post, so I presume it was recent and lost in the reversion to backup.
We are all very grateful for the forum and acknowledge the effort involved in keeping it running smoothly but it's still a bit confusing as to what happened to many peoples posts. The 5% thread you made reference to which no longer exists included a few members who also experienced multiple missing posts or a questionable post count.
