Hey everyone,
First, I'm a bit more rested so I'm not as upset as I was last night. Let me explain what happened. I was attempting to set up the "On Case" forum as it exists right now. I accidently created two "On Case" forums and I was attempting to erase one of them.
The EZ-Board administrative tools let you select a forum and then an action taht you want to do with that forum. I selected the forum I wanted to erase and clicked erase. This brought me to another page - where I was supposed to select the forum I wanted to delete again. I assumed that the forum was pre-selected and without reading carefully I clicked delete. At that point, the 3000+ posts we had were erased.
This happened at about 12:30 on April 10. At 12:40, I sent a request for a restore - a benefit that comes with the Gold Membership that you all are helping to pay for.
This restore, by all accounts, will take about three to four weeks. At that time, the the site will be restored to the way it was before I erased the forum. This means that all posts between now and then will be lost. I hope that everyone continues to post, however keep this in mind.
I am sorry for any inconvenience that this has caused and I hope that the community will continue to grow. I am expecting the restore sometime around the end of this month.
