...did somebody press the wrong switch again?

No, the "planned maintenance" holding page should have been showing?

The topics from tvfi.co.uk have been merged now. Thanks for everyone's good wishes, it's been a busy and frustrating few days. FWIW the old site finally came back today, a case of too little too late.

Asa,

Maybe close the temporary threads that duplicate existing longterm ones too, if merging posts is difficult or would make a nonsense of the joined up material.

Looks like the merging is happening now. As I speak there are two BBC Three threads and two W threads to merge, but the Channel 5, Sport Thread and BBC News ones have been done.

Still an issue with the last page/post link going to a blank page on some topics. I suspect this is because of posts made between the last backup and the outage being lost.

^That doesn't make sense. If posts were lost, then so was the info that would indicate a new page has been created.

Not if different parts of the site were backed up at different times.

On the Broadcasting House, Salford and TVC thread I clicked through three blank pages to get to the recent posts.

Ditto with the World News thread.

There seems to be an issue with disappearing threads?

I was wanting to post in the existing Central and BBC Midlands thread but there seems to be no trace of it having gone back a few pages in the Newsroom, using the Search facility and even looking back on my previous posts which has no trace of the recent posts that I have made in there.

I've made up a new one but I'm not sure if there are other long standing threads that have disappeared?

EDIT: I've found the old thread URL in my browser history but it's bringing up an error message. http://tvforum.uk/thenewsroom/new-new-central-west-bbc-midlands-38909/

It looks like some corruption had taken place using the DB from the old site. I'll restore the posts, topics and a couple of users that have gone missing tomorrow.

The search bar at the bottom of the site doesn't appear to be working at the moment.

Ongoing issue, as listed at the top of Page 1 of this thread.

The missing content should be back now, along with WAP for those surfing the information superhighway that way - http://tvforum.uk/wap . Searching still to come.
