Hi Richard

Nabble Support,
I took a backup of forum.world.st and examined what was there. It looks like the contents are still present in the node_msg table. That's good news, as it means we haven't lost the data.

Good

A specific example for the first record I found in the forum.world.st backup was from the conversation  http://forum.world.st/Issue-5595-in-pharo-EllipseMorph-gt-gt-cornerStyle-is-missing-statement-terminator-td4553131.html. Its time stamp displays as  Apr 14, 2012; 2:47am. Its node_id is 4556899.

I don't quite understand, if I go to http://forum.world.st/Issue-5595-in-pharo-EllipseMorph-gt-gt-cornerStyle-is-missing-statement-terminator-td4553131.html I can't find any content

Perhaps this will allow someone to determine why it won't display the contents.

Sorry, someone who? If you are the support you can restore the content from the backup, right? I guess a virus/malware happened or some sort of attack. Look at other messages in http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html most contents are vanished.
Cheers

"If you are the support..."
I am not Nabble Support. I am an admin, particularly for the GemStone fora (but in fact for all of forum.world.st).

I was reporting this to Nabble Support with a specific case they could examine where the system shows the content as deleted but the db shows the content is still there. I am hoping they can determine what has gone awry and perhaps formulate a plan for correcting it.
