Help me please. I was hoping it was moved to the StarCraft forum but can't find it there either. Title was "Time To Get Started on the StarCraft Resto" This was the old URL, hoping I didn't upset someone at Iboats and got the hammer.

http://forums.iboats.com/forum/owner...tarcraft-resto
Hum, I'm not seeing it just yet. I can find it with a Google search but it's not going/opening where it needs to be. I don't see it as a soft delete which would still show up for the Mod's. Was it your thread? Don't think you upset anyone at iboats. I'll keep looking.

Don't give up hope just yet. One of the administrative members hopefully might be able to retrieve it from past downloads saved as things are changing daily. I will let him know to look into it for you. Please give it a day or so.

I moved it at Sig's request and even posted to it after it was moved to the manufacturers forum.

You do realize if the thread is really lost (Yes, I feel terrible because I did the right things) you will have to start the entire restoration over again...... all of your accomplished work will be negated and must be done again. Like the movie Groundhog Day :)

I hope it's found, Sig. First, it has tons of good info. Many of us went along for the ride. Second, if you recreate it from scratch, I don't remember all the witty posts I made. :facepalm:

Well I think we have some improvement, I can click the link again and it brings me to a page other than invalid URL, but there is still no content in the link.

The title is back, that's a start. And it's in the Starcraft forum. Got my fingers crossed for you, Sig.

Our IT guy said somehow the thread was permanently deleted. But we back up our databases quite often, he is working on recovering the thread from a previous backup.

Ok it should be restored now, if you want to check it out. A few attachments are still missing, if you have them it might be easier for you to restore them but our IT will try and recovery the attachments as well.

Nice job to you and the IT team for sticking with this issue until the end. It sure helps ease some feelings of relief being reassured that when something big goes haywire, it's not total devastation. Including forum software change overs!;)

Bob, don't let this get you down and out, like boats, most things are repairable one way or another.:)

How about moving it back to Restos, Sig? :eek: Nah, I didn't think so. :D
I just noticed the link to the Silver Lining topic link works, but it still has the embedded Resto topic title. Maybe update the link so the bad karma is completely gone. :smile:
