    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.

    Thank you again,
