Am I dreaming or some of my posts disappeared?

No, you're not dreaming. I notice the same too.

Hmmm... It would appear that some posts from yesterday disappeared. I didn't delete them, which leads me to believe that my web host may have been having a problem that caused them to revert back to slightly older database file thus erasing a few posts.

My sincerest apologies for whatever caused the mishap.

I can now confidently say that something happened. My past two updates to the web site are missing now too, and that's all just HTML stuff, so a backup of the website that's a day or two old was loaded at some point.

Aww, don't worry! I only wrote a 100 posts yesterday... Just kidding! I was just wondering what happened, that's all bud!

 

[Hauntful]

No problem! That's what I thought might have happen. No worries, it happens from time to time with server glitches that's understandable.

The strange thing here is, in all the years I've been with this host, I've never had to revert back to a backup for any reason. From time to time, a database error would occur, and a thread would be lost, but never before has my HTML files been effected. *shrugs*

I just got a reply from my hosting provider. They switched my site onto another server yesterday to avoid a lengthy downtime that my "old" server was going to be experiencing, and somehow, in the process a few posts and my last update were lost. It shouldn't be happening again, which is a relief because my other worry was that the site had been hacked by somebody. *phew*

Hee hee, good thing I haven't posted in a couple days, or my post count would have been decreased -- which would be a total setback on my way to one thousand!


....but.... ahem.... sorry to those who lost posts.
