MFG 5.1 Anime & Manga Forums - View Single Post - "Member Since" dates updated and future Invision post recovery

**Ace** · 07-13-2007

It looks like process of recovering old posts will happen in phases. The next phase will be the re-creation of all of the old user accounts.

Current users who have changed their email addresses to match their old accounts will be able to change them back to what they were before after this phase. Users whose Join Dates haven't been updated also won't have their old accounts, and therefore their old posts, attached to their current accounts. After the re-creation of the old accounts, I will not be able to change things to pick up your old posts in your current account.

The code is done for this phase, so I will probably run it on the live site in a few days.

The phase after this will either be recovery of the old forums or recovery of a few posts. I will probably end up recovering posts one or two forums at a time. Although I have successfully recovered a few posts in some tests I've run, the code still has some bugs, so it might be a while before the process can start in earnest.
