I have completed the restoration of postings on the Message Board from the last few weeks. Please let me know if you see errors or problems. Some minor items, such as the view counts, have not been corrected. I'm not sure if I will be able to do that (if even possible) without compromising the time needed for other things needing restore, not to mention ongoing database configuration issues.
Here is what has not been restored yet from those weeks just prior to March 25:
- Recent Private Messages
- Recent Cruiser Gallery Photos
- Recent Postings in "Groups"
I'm actually not sure if the "Groups" section is still in use by members and I'm giving it much lower priority.
On Monday I will be away for several hours for a medical appointment. Otherwise, I do work from home. As I previously mentioned, I am also a caregiver for my disabled partner. Nonetheless I will keep monitoring the sites as much as I possibly can while also handling daily updates for the Sex Listings and Cruising For Escorts.
Once the restore is complete and the database is operating more smoothly, I will also set up those automated monitoring tools I had mentioned. This will provide alerts quickly if something goes wrong and I'll attend to it as soon as possible.
Once again, I am very grateful for your patience and loyalty to the site. Keith left it in my care and I do want very much to set it on a good path for the future. Our server migration has been part of that, along with hiccups like this. I hope to be able to move on soon to a new format, better home page, and so on, including the things that will make the site better for people on mobile devices. Your continuing support makes that possible. The site would not exist without you.
I'll sign off now but keep monitoring things this evening.
Bob
