well, I would agree with you that modifying a template should not result in data loss. But that is the only explanation I can offer. There were probably 15 new members and about the same number of new posts. I was estatic seeing activity since the forum had been down for over 2 months.

I read every message and checked every new member. As part of the conditions for using my site I require certain folks to register and post a message. I check each of these new members and write their name in a log book. I review the log book periodically and if they haven't registered, I send them an email. I had recorded these members in the log book.

I have a counter that I have been using for years and have it on all my sites. Never had a problem with it - it's just a little bit of javascript. I opened the footer and pasted it just before the </body> just like I have done hundreds of times before.

I did not make any other changes. Period. When I went to look at the index page ( I do that to "activate" the counter ), I immediately noticed same "August 11" post in one of the forums that had been staring at me over the last 2 months. Incredibly, the new members and their posts were gone. In the 15 minute span it took me to register the counter and enter it into the footer, all the new stuff had vanished.

Maybe it is a coincidence. Maybe there is another reason. The only facts I have are: they were there, I posted the counter, they were not there. Nothing else occurred on my end.

This will just remain a mystery.
