My apologies on the second post -- and deleted intermediate post. Honestly, I should have paid much closer attention, but I just realized there is a chance I blasted your information, Starmongoose. I simply backed up the database tables prior to the update, and I just restored them. If you made a change in the interim -- if so, my sincere apologies -- you may have to re-post it.
No forum feature was intended for permanent change. Any disruption to its components should NOT be viewed as "the magic hand in the sky decides my stuff no longer matters". I simply happen to be human; maybe too human ^,^
Please feel free to update the board as you were prior to the change. Information may have been lost, but at most, a link, it seems. Continue using the board features as you normally would, and please PM me if you encounter an issue preventing that ability.
