So are those posts gone? What has changed?
« on: July 05, 2014, 09:36:51 AM »
Hej,
so we are back.....but I notice that there are a couple of months missing. This includes reviews and such, which really is a giant shame....if it really is gone. I am frightful at the moment...

Also, what have you noticed has changed? I notice new emoticons so far. And that my avatar is gone as well.

Cheers!

I guess they had some sort of hardware failure.

I was like 'wow' when I logged back on the first time...

Looks like nearly 4 months' posts have gone AWOL.  I guess that means I'm 49 again in forum years.

And my bloody avatar had disappeared!

It all looks a little different, font sizes, colours and smilies have changed....

Here's Ol's update:

This sucks. All my super-useful posts are gone :laugh:

Seriously, though, can't be helped and it sucks it went down. Now I have to learn all these new smiley codes :laugh:

I guess the forum might take a bit to recover, I feel weirdly demotivated to past post

I know what you mean, after a week (or whatever it was) I'd sort of got out of the habit.  Cold turkey.

But I hadn't really had time to develop other vices to replace it.

Thought I was cracking up as my recent posts had all disappeared - fortunately I had taken the plunge and ordered from the store after the good advice here!

Came back to research vintage type strat pick ups for my '62R thought that I had been edited out as unworthy and about to wander off to look at CS Fender or SD Antiquities......................

 Not so paranoid now :cool:

well, i must say that the outage and loss of posts seems to have caused quite a bit of damage to the forum in terms of activity
