The New U2U system, and access to your old messages., page 1

Topic started on 12-8-2008 @ 11:50 AM by SkepticOverlord
As reported in this thread, Problems with the U2U database -- some messages are lost,
we experienced an event on the database server that resulted in damage to the U2U storage. Upon completion of an intensive repair routine, it appears
as though nearly 40,000 total records were lost... some members, including myself, lost everything.
Since then, we've relaunched a new-and-improved U2U system that looks and operates exactly like the old system, but has a much improved core storage design that should function much more efficiently, and greatly reduce the risk of data corruption, if not completely.
Also, for a limited time, we're providing access to the damaged system to give our members time to recover lost messages. Limited access is provided in a new Member Center menu item, Damaged u2u Access. Any messages that were not lost in your inbox or saved box should be available for individual recovery (since access to the damaged system causes server strain, we're not enabling outbox access). This access to the damaged system will expire on September 1, 2008.

Minor glitch (or is it an undocumented feature?) of the new u2u system:
I sent a u2u to a member and received a copy in my inbox. It also appears in my outbox.

I love the new system!
The speed is fantastic now - i can stop screaming at my monitor to load the "compose new message" option

There is no more saving of messages. Each one erases after 45 days.

Thanks SteveR,
I guess I'll just delete the whole batch and take the loss.
Any important u2u's I'll cut and past to text files and start fresh.
Kinda sad to see the old system crash and burn.
Maybe I'll ask Skeptic for a refund on the 5,000 points or just let it go. He seems to have a lot on his plate right now.
