Happy belated Turkey Day everyone! I wanted to update everyone on the forum. I believe the template issues that are plaguing some versions of Edge and Chrome were due to their security settings in recent updates and how the browsers treat the site. I had planned to update the forum to the latest version during the turkey day time off in hopes of resolving that issue, but something really good happened. My daughter was home for the occasion and like most of her visits; she let me know what her car needed. I can't even remember why, but I headed out to the shed in the backyard to look for something. I ended moving some boxes in the back and saw a usb cable hanging out of the box. Curiosity got the best of me, and I ended up digging 3 backpack usb hdd's out. I'm guessing one of my kids put the drives in a box full of house stuff in our push to move from our last house. That was a crazy time. Anyhow, the first two were empty, but the third ended up having a backup file from TAC on it. It doesn't have the last 4 years on it, but it does contain 10 years worth of messages on it and I am currently working on how to get the data back into the forum. Some of the table index values are in use since the tables reset back to 0, so I'm going to have to rewrite the sql file, update the topic numbers and verify the tables. The backup was taken under a previous version and several of the table field names have changed, but the fields are present which is good. I don't want to update the forum version until I have the data inserted into the current table just in case the tables change again and make insert impossible for me.
Wish me luck and say a prayer for me.
