The biggest tragedy in this whole deal is all that quality data lost from the arena. I am curious to see who is the first to post there.

Sorry to hear about the big crash! I'm sure it won't be long before we regain what was lost.

What is "WYSIWYG editor" in the profile settings? Is that a new feature or I just didn't see that listed before as an option to enable or not??

I MIGHT make that board by invite only. (I still need to play with the new features of this forum software)

I kinda think it's new? I think it's a glorified "quick reply" box at the end of every thread. Instead of a 'blank' box, you get the full WYSIWYG interface for posting.

I am just devastated by the loss of the forums.  I had only been using it for several months and a member for much less than that, but had it not been for the forums, I would never have purchased my Concours.

I spent hundreds of hours reading thousands of posts, composing new ones, and replying to others- hoping to learn as much as possible, while sharing what I learned with others.  I was in the middle of tons of research for things to do... lots of bookmarks... lots of followed threads.

I am praying that the information can be restored... the loss to the Concours community is incalculable.  Meanwhile, I won't be posting much here, hoping that this is all just temporary.

I will share the new pic I just took of my bike, since I had to select a new Avatar, anyway:

Not to be a smart ass, but isn't the point of a RAID system is to have redundant data on multiple drives?  I think that to start from scratch is an unbelieveable task.  Is this a COG curse?

Rick, your task is immense, good luck!

No.  A RAID offers *zero* protection from OS errors, application errors, user errors, controller failures, or total system destruction.  It only offers protection from single (and sometimes dual) hard drive failures.  It is not a form of backup of any kind.  Backups must always be on separate physical media, minimally... and ideally on removable, off-site storage.  (Yes, you can probably tell I am a 22+ year I.T.

On the prior forum it would leave a thread title bolded until I went into it, which helped me keep track of what I've looked at vs not. Is this a setting in my profile I need to do for in the new forum, all threads look the same wether I've viewed them or not??
 
Any tips or guidance anyone?? Thanks!

It still does, mostly. On the main index page, board titles are all the same, but the icon to the left of the title is different for topics in unread boards.

Thanks for the reply Rick, but I'm still not following you.  ???


They appear to all look the same to me wether I've viewed it or not, I even tried hitting refresh etc, all the normal things. Is it a setting I didn't do??


Thanks!
