Re: Another Corrupt Thread? - "Commercial Viability of Space"
That's very strange, I haven't seen it before. Maybe your mailboxes were full up?
*No. Last I saw there was still plenty of capacity. I deleted half the messages I had in both boxes just last week.
"Your messenger (1 new)" was flashing when I signed on about 10 minutes ago. I went to check and now the In box is completely empty; it looks "collapsed" on itself, actually...if that makes sense.

I sent you a message, in response to the one you sent me. Did you get it ?
*Yes I did, BGD. 
Of course, all incoming PM's also automatically go to one's e-mail account (but messages sent aren't duplicated to e-mail).
I'm basically wondering if there isn't a larger issue afoot, which is why I posted about this circumstance. At first it was half my messages gone, then 3/4, then all of them gone and the web page to access either box is a bit distorted.

Re: Another Corrupt Thread? - "Commercial Viability of Space"
Dicktice, I have met the same problem.
Solution:
Go to 'your control panel' (upper left)
then choose 'account options', there you can choose a skin: now it's 'standard ikonboard skin' change it to aurora, fixes the problem... but the board looks a bit different. (that's the skin)OH BTW, the S&O not showing in 'new posts' has occured again.... Weird.
I did what you said, but no joy: still the same "error" message as I posted before. Are we suffering from MyDoom . . . or?

Re: Another Corrupt Thread? - "Commercial Viability of Space"
*My messenger isn't working at all now, except for the prompt notifying me I have a message. Of course, I am able to retrieve and read the message via *e-mail*. It's a minor inconvenience, especially if I'm not logged into my e-mail account.
It would be nice, though, to have the messenger problem fixed...that way I can simply read messages sent to me here, at New Mars.

Re: Another Corrupt Thread? - "Commercial Viability of Space"
I really have no idea why this has happened and it doesn't seem to have happened to anyone else. I'm not aware that it's a known issue with Ikonboard (although I could be wrong). Exactly what happens when you click on the 'Your messenger' link?

*When I click on "Your messenger" (with 1 or 2 new messages), I am taken to the "Current Messenger Folder: Inbox" which has the Summary, Inbox, Address Book, Preferences and Send New Message options.
I will click on "You have ____ messages [go to your inbox]" and nothing happens.
I will click on the tab to Go to folder: Inbox Go!
And nothing happens.
I can now access Sent messages, but there are only 5 remaining messages and none that I have sent (and checked to save) are there.
All of my former Inbox messages are completely wiped out (there were approximately 25 there prior).
I am able to send messages and receive "Read Receipt" prompts and prompts for incoming messages but nothing can be read; I must go to e-mail for that.

Re: Another Corrupt Thread? - "Commercial Viability of Space"
While my messenger mailbox seems to be working fine, I have recently noticed that only the last 15 messages are in my "Inbox" and "Sent" folders...although it says I have a total of 51 saved messages.
Has anyone else noticed not being able to access their old messages, etc? I'm wondering if the database is somehow corrupted, etc. ???

Re: Another Corrupt Thread? - "Commercial Viability of Space"
Okay, restored the thread according to my abilities. Only I managed to mispell the heading, so now it says "Vaibality"!
:angry:
Yeah, I know, I'm anal-rententive. Just hate un-aesthetic errors like that.
