Regis said: My notifications and inbox are all missing (except for one PM from Jayce from 2013!). Anybody else having the same issue?
Same. All notifications gone bar ones from tonight, and all PMs since 2013 missing. I'm assuming they just need a dB restore. As the outage was unplanned presumably something major broke. Cudos to MM for getting main site back up so fast.
Since yesterday's outage (perhaps coincidentally) my Inbox and all 234 messages has vanished, along with the ability to create a new Message other than in the forums. Strangely my Sent Items are intact but I still cannot initiate a new message that way. Are they retrievable?

I also noticed my inbox and notifications got zapped even prior to Monday. They're all totally empty
I'm working on the chat still, and yes, sadly inboxes have gone through a time warp effect back to about Monday. If anybody has specific messages from someone that they really need, please contact me privately.
Thanks everyone for your patience and support. Messmaster

Messmaster said: I've gotten most of the messages back. Sadly, ones from the past few days are still missing, but I'm working on it and hope to have them back as well.

All my PMs and notifications are back now, so whatever you did has worked for me.
One thing, though - and this doesn't matter, I'm just checking if this is a glitch or new feature - is that my notifications include the text of PMs now, whereas they didn't before.
Yep, my messages and notifications have now returned fully too. Thanks MM, knowing a bit about the fun of running server based systems, I can appreciate the amount of work involved and the speed with which it was done. Really appreciated.

^THIS^ My notifications included my mail box messages that I have had over the past week. However, when I "cleared all notifications" I couldn't get back into my messages box again. Said everything was gone. But I still have a little 1 indicating something is in there.
D, let me know if there is anything I can do to help you out.

Thanks for the advice. I never bother clearing notifications anyway, but I certainly won't now!

Oh so you didn't get my GPS coordinates? No wonder you didn't show up.
MuddyPenguin said: Are we gonna get messages back one by one, or all in one big "woosh"?
It'll most likely be a messy "splat." Not as straightforward or neat as one might think, but I'm still working on inbox and chat issues. Lots of internal things to be looked after first, sorry to say. Going fast as I can!
Messmaster said: Still restoring inboxes guys. Hope to get to chat soon.
Thanks for all the work you are doing behind the scenes. I know that while it might seem frustrating on the surface for us we know that it will be worth the wait as you're only trying to make this awesome place even better. Appreciate everything mate.
