Hi!
Shit it is! While retrieving the forum page from the backup in November, somehow the cgi's data.txt file got lost to which the current counter number is being written. Got it fixed now.
Because of this, the file counter started back at zero, happily overwriting old posts 0-380. They're now lost I fear, 'cause OK, they are still there in a backup but the new posts have the same file names and I'm not going through the html code manually changing filenames of 380 posts, naaahh..
Praise goes to John Payne (jhpayne@snowhill.com) who discovered this!!!
KTRSD!
Bert.
