Today Morning I was working on several projects and had left lots of internet explorers open !
Writing some php/mysql scripts. Some changes on some sites. Backup the httpForum's mysql database,....
In one of my projects I needed the mysql database to be dropped and be re-built so I Maximized the proper I.E. window and did that using phpmyadmin. After testing my script I found that the database is not empty ! Surprisingly checked the database and found it empty. Oh my god ! What's wrong with this script ? Where it's getting the information ? The database is empty but ... Suddenly I found out I dropped httpForum's mySql database instead of the site I was working. It was late and unfortunately it happened before I could take the backup /sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />
I lost everything, fortunately just before the official launch and promotion but I lost a few members and their valuable posts.
Anyway dear old members, I do apologize for this inconvenience. I hope in the future it will never happen again (Like other 4 times that it happened to my other sites in different ways and each time I hoped that it won't happen again /unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":unsure:" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> )
Anyway after that I decided to take advantage of this mess that I caused and do something useful so I have moved the site to a temporary place until my server becomes ready also change the site's structure to a more user friendly structure.
But again I need your creative suggestions 'cause I'm affraid I missed something.
