HELP ASAP - forum dissapearing

by mcapplepie March 23rd 2008, 12:16 am

Hi guys.

Lately my forum has been disspearing.
When I log in it tells me that there are no forums on this site!!

And it's scaring my users because we can't access any topics or threads or anything! They can PM me, and they can do all the other functions, but the board has gone missing.
I can view it all and post when I chose to preview the forum from the Admin menu, but they can't find it!

Also, some of the pages in my threads are dissapearing also. We had one that was at I think 80 something pages, and then we couldn't access any more than the last 6.
Is anyone else having this problem, or can anyone tell me how to fix it?

Regards,

Indeed, it is a problem. You are sure that someone is not being hack your forum?

They don't know how.
And they wouldn't want to anyway, they love the forum.
It's actrually a replacement from a forum they were on. It's a long story, but basically all these stupid poeple joined and made the other forum suck, so I made a new one wich is totally private.
Anyway - no one has any need to do something destructive like this to the forum.

Is there anything else? Maybe a glitch? I haven't accessed settings in a while so it can't be me.

I am sorry but I have never seen similar cases.

Perhaps he simply redo the forum ...

But this is the simplest solution xD

Redo. As in make a new one?
But will this happen again?
There are only 25 000 posts, is that too many?
I really don't want to have to make a new one, that would annoy my users endlessly.
Is there any way someone from tech support could maybe have a look?

Wrong section then, yes?

Very Happy

Sorry for not editing. I will go take a look at the forum french.

by KawaiiMoon March 23rd 2008, 12:41 am

I found it. But I do not know if it's good.

Then, in the admin panel
General
Home
Message on the front page
You selected everything and you delete everything.

You do the same thing with the modules on your personalized portal.

And will be back to normal.

This little "technical": the portal modules, the message on the home page and other areas that support the HTML code shall not contain <head> tag </ head>, <body> </ body> or <html> </ html>
On the other hand, a code copied / pasted incomplete plant can completely the appearance of a forum that's what has just happened.

Sincerely

Ok, because I do have some html in the form of falling snow on the home page. You think this could be it?

I will try what you suggested.

by KawaiiMoon March 23rd 2008, 12:51 am

I think so. Can you pass me the address of your forum? For that I watch. =)

by mcapplepie March 23rd 2008, 12:53 am

Thanks!

The address is www.rooster.justgoo.com, but it's a private forum so you will have to join to see the workings.

Join if you want, i'll add you.
