I regret to inform you that our site recently experienced a database issue that required me to restore from a 12-hour old backup. This resulted in the temporary loss of new posts and comments made within the last 12 hours.
I was able to manually recover all of the lost posts. Additionally, I restored most of the missing comments. However, despite my best efforts, a small number of recent comments remain unrecoverable due to the database problem.
Please know that I understand how disruptive and frustrating this data loss is. I understand how valuable the conversations and contributions are on this site. I sincerely apologise for the interruption to the site and for any user contributions that were affected.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as I worked to fully resolve this issue and restore normal operations.
