My board just vanished!

Post by megoomba »

Hello all! I hope I am posting this in the right area. I hope someone can help me. I’m going to have to apologize in advance as I am not at ALL tech savvy and am having a hard time understanding a lot of the topics on this forum but if someone could help me, I would be forever appreciative!

I have a phpBB forum board that my wife and I use for writing. This morning all of tbe content just VANISHED!! No trace of any of our topics to be seen! I was able to access a chached version of it and almost all of our content is still available there. Phew! But I am wondering if anyone ever had anything similar happen with their boards or any idea how/what could have happened and if anyone knows any way to restore our data!

Thanks in advance! And so sorry I don’t know more about this sort of thing.

This is not uncommon if it is a "free" board. The people who run free boards just close down without any warning and everyone looses everything. If you have a backup of your database then there is hope otherwise you will probably have lost everything
