benos Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 I'm trying to recover the 550 tips and tricks. There's over 600 threads in the old archive for that forum. I usually find missing threads by reading the directory file for that forum, which in this case was wiped clean. Ahhh! But wait, I still have a backup I saved from 02.01, and in it was what appeared to be a fairly intact directory file. But, when I did a find for the thread's title using "550" it only returned two threads, neither of which is the tricks/tips thread. Sadness. Upon further investigation there's quite a few threads that are missing in that forum, so they only way I'm going to be able to recover it is by opening the threads one at a time. To help me narrow it down - does anyone remember the exact title of that thread? And approximately, considering that forum's "life," when was it started? be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted April 1, 2003 Author Share Posted April 1, 2003 Using some clever guesswork, I found the bastard in less than 20 tries. (It's directory was wiped clean as well.) It's a wopper though, but I'll get it up as soon as I get all the cgi script out of the text. And then you might want to pretty it up, Erik. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
