July 11-12 AW Outage and Rollback

Also: If you lost an avatar, if you pm me with a url for the image, or email the image to me ([email protected]) I'll fix it for you.

Yay! Thanks SHawkins, and everyone else who assisted!

I - I think I lost something like 1 million rep points. I could be wrong though...

I know you guys do the best what you can but... I still feel kinda sad.

Sorry Max.

I know it's hard.

Weird. My rp total seems to be higher...

But... my reps... my genius posts... all... gone... And they were Susie-reps, too. **sniff**

Just kidding and I'm buyin' SHawkins drinks for the rest of the night!

A million bajillion thank yous!

I think mine is too. . .

I seem to have lost a lot of posts as well, though to be honest I can't remember how many. And with this post I'm only 1 away from 50 again, so I guess I can live with it.

A huge THANK YOU to Shawkins, and Mac and Lisa, for all your hard work. You guys are SO beyond awesome.

Shhh.

Everybody'll want it.

Yikes, first congrats to SHawkins. I do IT and know how it can make you sweat when something goes down.

Second, can I get my posts back. I was up to 42; now I'm down to 26! I'm close to completing my query and want to get it out into the AW world!

Aiieee! Poor SHawkins! And bless ... er, him? Her?

Doesn't seem to be online right now, anyway, so how can I find 'em and ship 'em some thank-you reppies?

Him.

He's a good guy; posts in Now You're Cooking.

Send him your favorite summer reasonably healthy recipe as a thank you; he'd like that.

Major kudos to everybody who helped get AW back up and running today. Even though I knew it was down, I still kept trying to log in today because I needed my fix.

I lost some posts too... I was somewhere around 45... so close to being able to post in SYW, and I've tried to get my post count up thoughtfully, over time, by giving detailed feedback to other people in SYW, not just randomly making comments here and there. I notice I'm down to 27 or 28 now, is there any way to get some of those missing ones back? If not, I know this wasn't your fault and you've done a great job getting it going again so quickly, so I won't tear all my hair out!

We'll artificially bump you.

Please give the server a chance to catch up though, at least an hour.

In the meantime, you can log off, clear your AW cookies, and then log back in.

And remember that the password for SYW is vista.

Thank you, SHawkins! Thank you to Mac & Lisa, too. I'm happy we're up and running again.

I feel your pain, Jersey Chick. I lost mah Susie reps, too. Over the past three days it was almost as if I'd won the rep lottery. It's not the points I miss so much—though I did lose a lot—it's the lovely comments I'll miss.

I know it's not much help right now, but you know you can export and save your PMs and Rep Comments.

Thank you, SHawkins, Mac, and Lisa! I missed AW when it was down. On the other hand, I got a lot more homework done than I would have if AW had stayed online uninterrupted.

I lost $3.50

Wayne, it was the Loch Ness Monster disguised as Mac who took your $3.50.
