Finally back 🙂 Thank you dibz for maintaining the forums :]
The sessions table crashed, unfortunately while I monitor the web service it only checks the response code -- and XF was generating a normal page but with the crashed table message so I didn't notice the issue until I visited myself.
As far as contacting me that's a good question, since the contact form goes through the forum software as well. I think I'll post some direct contact details to the admin forum in a sticky.

Is there an XML/HTML export feature for the conversations ?
I though there was one somewhere, but I couldn't find it.
Not sure on the export feature.
So does anyone know when they lost their conversations? I was looking at the current database, several backups from about a month ago, and one from about 6 months ago and the differences appear to look like normal traffic between them. If I'm reading them right, which its very possibly I'm not yet, it seems like a fairly low count in all of them -- suggesting they've been missing for 6+ months. I don't actually use PMs/conversations a lot, so anyone that does can you chime in?

I'll bug vbt and ask him since he is the one that needed the lost conversations. I know I have lost mine but it has been so long since I used them that I never noticed. From IRC before
<vbt> hi amon did you loose your old pms on segaxtreme forum?
<AmonX> vbt I am missing some yes I have two old ones from 2013 though
<vbt> yes but nothing from 2006-2010 for instance
Also side note when pasting something multiline into the quick editor the lines are in reverse order...

I found a "pm-archive_20150611.csv" file on my HDD, so it was possible to export to csv at that time, but can't remember where this option is hidden ^^;
I hope this feature wasn't removed after that time, because it's very convenient since PM are (obvisously) not saved by archive.org/google cache/etc.
My "pm-archive_20150611.csv" file contains ~10 years old messages from Rockin'-B when I won C4-2005 contest. Theses are worth gold for me 🙂
BTW, is there a limit on PM saved online ? There aren't PM older than April 2013 in my conversation folder ...
I was hoping someone could narrow down when they went missing so I could figure out what happened, specifically if they ever made it to xenforo. That might actually be a better scenario since even the 6 month old backup (the oldest I have) for XF doesn't seem to have them, but I certainly still have the old site data including databases -- in which case nothing is actually lost.
