Photo Gallery / Missing Forums posts was created by GJSchaller (GJSchaller)
On Wed. Night, a problem with our hosting provider caused part of the Knight Realms website to crash, and corrupt some data, specifically the photo gallery. Because the gallery includes a photo on every page in the side bar, this caused the website as a whole to crash.
I disabled the photo gallery temporarily, and worked with our hosting provider to find a way to recover it. He was able to restore the gallery's database from a backup copy.
Unfortunately, despite my instructions NOT to, he also recovered all of the forums from backup as well, setting them back about 2 days. You will see that some posts are missing, and PMs as well.
My apologies for the issues caused - I'll be working with our hosting provider to make sure this does not happen again.

Geoff, you're the best! Thanks for all that work, I imagine it was something you'd rather not have to had done! But look at this way--I went on the boards today and got to re-live all the posts I'd read yesterday! It was like having a second chance....or Groundhog's Day -- I'm not sure which But seriously, thanks for giving the boards a speedy recovery!
