El Presidente Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Thanks Frank. I have jason looking into it now. Not sure what is going on mate but will come back to you. Cheers! Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzz Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I have noticed a few "Guest <username>" accounts in some old threads. Could be more than a few have disappeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puros Y Vino Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 @refresh Rob's not 100% sure but he estimates last week. No way to do a "brick" restore of just his account and related postings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puros Y Vino Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 4 hours ago, refresh said: Nope, none at all. I checked with Invision about just this thing. We'd have to restore the entire site. That's a difficult thing to do on a 17000 member forum. That seems a bit heavy handed. That kind of restore will wipe out a lot of content and newly created accounts. Is there any benefit to restoring the site into a VM and then being able to migrate data from the VM into production?

Puros Y Vino Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 5 minutes ago, refresh said: Can't do it, the site's too big and it'd take way too long to nut it out. Our options are a full restore or try to figure out how to avoid a repeat episode while trying to help those affected by this issue (we can buff the post count and join date for re-registrations and the content still exists albeit with the "Guest" prefix). The forum's been running for at least 15 years now and this was a first for us. We'd expect a database crash to affect everyone rather than a small segment. That's too bad. I think it'd be better to forgo the restore and fix the affected users manually. Since you found the content was not deleted, that's a good foundation to build on.

Fuzz Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Rob (Rob Cappuccio) has had his account also affected. He just messaged me about not being able to log on for the last week. His old posts are now marked as "Guest Rob". Moving forward, are we to suggest members just rejoin, if their accounts are affected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzz Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 27 minutes ago, refresh said: What's concerning is all affected users are "Robs", which concerns me that this was a targeted attack against the Pres. But to do that, they'd need to access the db and run an SQL query for "Rob". I was thinking the exact same thing last night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First Lady Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Boys if you have anyone who is effected and they have a locker can you get them to email me on [email protected] so we can link their new account with their OLH account. Their stock is still showing on the OLH site but just not linked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
