Hi Ben,
I posted a full explanation to this question in the
LabVIEW General Insights .
As to your question about lost work, for many posts that were created after the 17th, we lost the association with the user name. A question, like this one for example, was replicated back from our NNTP newsgroups (comp.lang.labview) and we lost both the user name the post ID. So, we won't be able to record this in your stats, and you won't receive an email notification of my response.
We back up the Developer Exchange nightly. We decide to revert
to a backup from the 17th because our research indicated that this would be the safest back-up to restore.
We're now working on ways to mitigate the risk of the error occurring again.
I do apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this has caused.
Regards,
Sarah Patterson
Web Support & Operations Manager
