Forum avatars

Red Squirrel · Post by **Red Squirrel** » Sat May 09, 2009 12:44 am

I just realized when I uploaded the data for all the forum fixes I accidentally deleted all the forum avatars that were uploaded.

It looks like my backups have overwritten as I do not have any rotations set for site data as they are simply in place in case of disk failure or other such event.

I will double check to see if there are some older backups somewhere but you will probably all have to reupload.

Sorry for the inconvenience, and my lack of better backup rotations. :p

What a coincidence, I was just thinking about changing my avatar a few days earlier too.

rm -rf bad!

Worse part is I backed up the whole forum directory before, but I went and deleted it once everything was working (or so I thought). I should make sure to keep those manual backups a bit longer next time :p
