Do your best, glenn. It would be a shame if those two PM's that I sent Maine-iac were to get lost forever.

I would resend them if I could only remember exactly what I had written to her, but for the life of me I can't remember which love poems I was quoting from.

So many love poems, so little memory...

How will I remember who are my friends and who are my enemies in the cage matches?!

The PM's, I'm looking into. I *may* revert to a backup copy of the pm tables but no guarantees. I'm sorting through the mess, and want to be assured that I don't break something else by doing the restore on only part of the database.

Did you cause the problem... I know Traci has shouldered the blame for the last couple of outages. The steel cage death match voting public need to know!

Sparky,

While it's a little late, I decided to preserve all my PMs prior to Feb 3 by downloading them. The software can't seem to comprehend how many PMs some of us who flirt with WCCs have.

If I try to download them as text or XML, I just get a blank screen. If I try to download them as CSV I get

Network Error (tcp_error)


A communication error occurred: ""
The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time.

For assistance, contact your network support team.

I think it must be size related since a [cough,cough] non-Gandalf [/cough,cough] id that I "consulted" was able to download that id's PMs without problem.

Interestingly, the PM COUNT remains the same, only the PM's themselves have disappeared to infuriate the innocent

I've lost all my PMs.

Wait... I've never had any PMs. It's better to have had PMs and lost them than to never have any. Somebody please send poor Piglet a PM.

A lot for half a day. Did Glenn do something silly again?!
Apologies if this volated the Terms of Service.

Of course the count remains the same, for you. Zero minus zero is still zero.

OK, your math checks out.
