Guest guest_4748 Posted March 25, 2016 Report Posted March 25, 2016 Data from stories in the comics section seems to have been gone missing in the last month (http://comics.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600060208). Is this loss of data permanent? Quote
BronxWench Posted March 25, 2016 Report Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) The author might want to repost that story. For some reason, in the recent update, a small portion of stories in the Comic subdomain were affected like this. It's possible that our tech admin can see if she can restore the data, but given her real-life workload at the moment, I doubt it will be soon, and she is the only one with database access, for obvious reasons.

Guest guest_4748 Posted March 25, 2016 Report Posted March 25, 2016 Alright, thanks. As long as the data exists somewhere that is good news Quote
DemonGoddess Posted March 27, 2016 Report Posted March 27, 2016 I actually have most of the data for all of it. I have someone on clean up going through and providing me with a list of what I've got to look for and fix. Quote
Guest danny Posted April 13, 2016 Report Posted April 13, 2016 same issue here: http://comics.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600060671&chapter=1 story is missing, which is a real bummer Thanks for the efforts Quote
BronxWench Posted April 13, 2016 Report Posted April 13, 2016 same issue here: http://comics.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600060671&chapter=1 story is missing, which is a real bummer Thanks for the efforts Chapters 1 through 6 are truncated. Chapters 7 through 12 appear to be intact. Quote
Guest danny Posted April 13, 2016 Report Posted April 13, 2016 truncated? that means its intentional? Quote
BronxWench Posted April 13, 2016 Report Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) truncated? that means its intentional? Sorry, that was for our admin and/or clean-up crew. By truncated, I mean the text is cut off. It might be as simple as something intended as an emoticon actually working like an html code and cutting off the text, or it could have been the way the earlier chapters were posted. We used to allow direct upload of html files, although it's no longer possible. But we do sometimes encounter issues with older stories. The good thing about a truncated chapter is that the data may still be in the database, but not displaying. In that case, when DemonGoddess061 get to this subdomain, she'll be able to correct the error preventing the chapter from displaying in full. We won't know until she gets there but this lets her know where to look. Edited April 13, 2016 by BronxWench Quote
DemonGoddess Posted April 13, 2016 Report Posted April 13, 2016 If it's truncated, I remove the text emoticon, and it's fixed. If it's part of the conversion, I search through the tables I have stored offsite of this particular dataset, and restore it that way. Quote
BronxWench Posted April 20, 2016 Report Posted April 20, 2016 It won't be working until the clean-up reaches that archive. There's actually a queue, and the staff who do that work aren't there yet. Quote
Guest dannysi Posted April 20, 2016 Report Posted April 20, 2016 oh... is there a way I can help? Quote
