My forum dissapeared, what happened? *SOLVED*

DanK
This post was updated on .
Hello

I had this forum om my website since may, usually works fine.
But yesterday it dissapeared completely. This have happended once before, but then it have returned within a day/hours.

http://gripens-medlemsforum.27226.n6.nabble.com/

I get "404 - Page does not exist" when I try now.

This happened shortly after I deleted one thread on the forum, but I got a confirmation on that from nabble, som it's just a thread. I didn't closed the whole forum.

Is it the server or what? I'm completely helpless since I don't have any accsess to it now.
And I have just sent out information about registration to a bunch of people so they can login to the forum (I'm the ony administrator), so you can see it's very embarrasing.

BTW: It has been used frequently for six months, and I have no messages/mails from nabble, exept the one yesterday about deleted thread. I've checked the junkmail-bin, so no mail there either.

Any help please?

It appears that you did somewhat more than you claim as the URL you give resolves to this address:

http://www.gripe.n.nu/nabble-forum#nabble+template%2FNamlServlet.jtp%3Fmacro%3Dlogin_page%26message%3DYou%2Bmust%2Blogin%2Bto%2Bview%2BGripens%2Bmedlemsforum.%26nextUrl%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fgripens-medlemsforum.27226.n6.nabble.com%252F

That indicates you not used the code that Nabble would have supplied for embedding a forum.

This is one that the Nabble Team will need to sort out for you.

Thanks for quick reply, Greg.

Yes, I've seen that too. But it's some sort of redirekt, cause the link is just fine (I think).
I had the forum on our memberssection of the website, and I did som change in the text above the forum on that page.
But I wasn't near the forum and did not change anything there. The only thing is if some coding on the page changed at the same time, but I dont know how, and I can't see it now either.

So I'm very confused what happened, and how I can fix it. It's hard when I dont have any access at all.

Nabble team sounds fine by me, but how does that work, and will it take very long?

I'm confused to! I certainly would not expect it to happen unless you played with the embedding code at the same time as deleting the message and did an unintended paste there.

However, whatever the cause, I do accept that with that URL you will be locked out of your forum and unable to edit things yourself. That's why I said you have no choice but to await one of the Nabble team to come along. Normally, for a non premium support user, they'll take a look with 48 hours but often much quicker than that.

Sure is strange. Well I almost alwas turn to myself and wonder what I did wrong.
But in this case it's very hard to figure out if its something I did wrong on the forum, or on the website that host the forum.
I'm trying both ways, but when you don't see any trace at all, its impossible to se exactly what went wrong.

Thanks for quick answers, Greg. I'll wait for nabble team to investigate.
