Messing with the forum code is dangerous. An error in a file or code dead end gives a white screen of death and internally files are juggled around and modified whenever a mod is installed. If that process gives an error it can be a hard knot to untie. And that is what happened to lose the posts this time. And I compounded the error by rewriting a file I forgot had settings for my home server but not the for the server on the live website. Oh fuck!
I was in the process of rebuilding everything when settings in the database caused naming issues because it said the doomstead theme was there when I had not yet installed it. When I tried to install it the software went to the white screen of death.
It is actually a credit to my propensity for not fucking up that makes it possible for this place to grow into something new at all. But I can't do it in an impulsive mood that lets me get ahead of where I can't back up.
