They had to restore from a mid-June backup. If you joined after that, there won't be any record of you.

That was one of the problems I posted on the moderators board yesterday - appears to not be fixed yet based on your experience.
I'll post it again today.

Good. I'm always learning - or rather, got a start from from zero - from reading yours and other pro's posts. Thanks.

The tech guy reports that the "forgot password" feature now works again for re-setting passwords

I have tried to register twice. They say my email is banned - odd, it works for TBN. The random question was "what is later morning or evening" I answered evening - said that was the wrong answer. :laughing:

Fancy technology is stupid. Further proof that computers aren't reliable enough drive cars, they can't even tell morning from evening

I went back to try a 3rd time and stopped when I saw the random question: You are at _______wed
Yep, "web" was misspelled. I'll wait a few days till they get the kinks worked out

Good news, tech guy said that question doesn't exist so you can't have answered it wrong
He has temporarily disabled the "are you a human" type stuff while they work on that.

Dave, when everybody calms down over there I hope you can ask for a technical explanation of wth happened.
It sounds like the site was hosted at some contracted facility, not inside Penton, so they may never tell. But a disaster of that magnitude - hundreds of websites - will likely get written up in some tech journal someday. Losing 8 months of backups at once is rare - I hope.
I used to do network administration on a far smaller scale - starting back before wifi and when a network card to put in your PC cost $100 if you wanted to set its IP manually with jumpers before installing it, or $200 if you wanted DHCP. (server assigns IP address to each connected device, now the general standard). We've come a long way but the basics of adequate, frequently tested backups remain just as relevant now. Our server was visible from a street window so physical theft was a realistic possibility. Backup tapes were always off site. If needed, I could have reloaded a tape onto replacement hardware and been back up quickly. It seems that hosting company never before had to prove this capability.
