Posted: 04.08.2003 License to ill
I have seriously never had this happen before. A comment was left with bad HTML, and when I noticed it via e-mail and went to clear it up in MT, it was GONE. The whole entry. Not in my database at all. And just that entry. I lost the whole license plate thread with 91 comments and 25 TrackBacks. I still have the images for the page, but with it not being in my MT database, you can no longer comment on it there. Sorry about that!
I've been cleaning up HTML for people all day. Please, please please -- if you're going to leave it -- know how to use it! And if you don't know how to use it, just ask me. I'll be happy to help. This is no one's fault in particular as it could have happened on about half of the license plate comments I've received today. But...time to start fresh... So if you haven't got yours in yet, I morphed it with the state/country tally list entry: 
 weird - data corruption at its best ¤ ¤ credit: Don | 04.08.03 at 12:19 AM | link- -this ¤ ¤ The strange thing is, I'm on the mySQL database. I have no freakin' clue what happened other than the person was rapid-submitting comments and said they accidentally hit "speak" on the last one and then went back really quick to try and fix it. The whole entry / comments / trackback just went "poof!" inside of MT. All I could do was recover the HTML from the last rebuild on the index and archive page. Very odd. ¤ ¤ credit: robyn | 04.08.03 at 12:23 AM | link--this ¤ ¤That's so odd, I haven't heard of that happening. And I can't imagine why it would do that with just some bad html. :( If you log into PHPMyAdmin on the server, is it completely gone there too?? It might not be a bad idea to back up your data just in case this is something that could cause corruption ... ??? ¤ ¤ credit: kristine | 04.08.03 at 12:29 AM | link--this ¤ ¤Kristine -- I just e-mailed you. ¤ ¤ credit: robyn | 04.08.03 at 12:32 AM | link--this ¤ ¤
