A call for halp!!

Post by zilch »

Hi!

There have been issues of late with the MediaWiki over at the Unofficial Guide to the DC Universe. If anyone here knows about that programming language/platform, let me know and i'll put you with Kim Jensen. As of right now, we will probably lose all work since May 9th. This is all the indexes for May, June, July and August with part of September with all other indicies and chronologies that i and another member have been working on from the 30s onwards.

Thanks in advance for any help and keeping a good thought

Site is back up but we lost everything since May. That's about 5000 corrections and additions. Oh well, back to work...

Thanks for all the good thoughts!

Did you figure out what caused the problems in the first place?

No, not really. One edit seemed like it triggered everything, but none of us are really that programming savy to be able to dig in and find/fix the problem. I'm just thankful that the restore/reboot seemed to fix the issue. I hope the Powers that Be here are keeping good backups and looking out for trouble.
