Has anyone noticed a few regulars to the flora et fora are seeming to be deleted?! Could this be the end of CISD at last?!

Regulars to the what now?

They can't delete CISD! It's the Thread From Which I Learned Most!

This webpage basically. "Flora et fora" is a play on words of "Flora et fauna" meaning plants and animals? in Latin, and "fora" being the plural of forum

There's an explanation from Christine somewhere that explains that members aren't being deleted, but there was simply a series of errors this afternoon which made people appear to have become unregistered. However, all these members are still registered and there is no serious problem any more.

What is CISD?

Come In, Sit Down. 'Tis a famous thread

Have you never been in the great CISD?

It's where I first hid in a cupboard!

*Hides in cupboard*

And it's where you can get a job, if you ask me nicely

Car Expert

Technically, I'm emplyed to hide in a cupboard... Wow!

It's basically where you can chat about whatever you like.

even wellingtons!

superpyroman - just noticed, you had 97 posts the other day, now you have 89!

I've just experienced something strange...

If you go into 'Viva Piano', and go on to the pinned thread that is closed, the bottom post has, on my PC, some rather interesting aspects. Namely, the navigation menu and language menu have been inserted into it in place of the text.

What's gone off there then?

If it's what I'm thinking, most of the old posts from years ago are like that.

Car Expert

Its really strange! whys this all going on? Is CISD still running?

I hope so, because I've just posted in it, so my computer has severe nasties if it isn't.

That may be, but I was still unregistered until I went through the re-registering process.
I could read but not post anywhere.

Do you mean re-registering or did you just have to log back in maggie. I think registrations are still closed.

Well - yes I see. I don't know. I did more than just log in - because I put in my normal user name and password, and it rejected them.

I had to go through a "retrieve your password" thing, then it seemed to start again, because I ended up changing my password.
*scratches head*

I've just been able to log in (obviously!) but apparently I'm still unregistered. Weird!

You've probably noticed that your post above shows you as registered.

There are still a lot of gliches scattered across the forum, I'm sure the administrators will continue to try to get them fixed tomorrow and subsequently.

Now it says I'm registered again. Must be the heat!

And, at this point, I'll point out that my rates are very reasonable .

I wish someone would kill CISD.. it's a behemoth! a Leviathan!

You can't delete the great realm of the cupboard monster!

Oh good - Jamie's posts are being deleted!

Not that I've noticed with my post count, but if anyone else's post counts have decreased, perhaps this points to the forum losing posting records for late yesterday/early today - it may also be related to the PM loss, as I'm sure people will have sent/received PMs in that time.

I'm no computer expert, but just a thought?

I don't think mine did...

I have a feeling mine went up...

Car Expert

There's always one!

Yeah, I did get a bit worried when I looked at a post just now and it said loads of people were unregistered!!

All my PMs have disappeared...

Mine too!!

Sadly, I think all the PMs sent by everyone have disappeared without trace......

Bah there was me hoping to eventually catch up on all the ancient ones I had miserably failed to answer. I guess it's good to have a clean slate, though...

ha, I thought the powers that be had had enough of us all and just deleted the lot of us!

yes - that thought crossed my mind too at about 3 o'clock this afternoon.

My inbox still says I have 37 messages, when I click on it they've all gone!
