Comments System
The comments system here on the website freaked out sometime in the last couple of weeks and deleted all the names of the commenters. The comments themselves were left untouched, but only the names were deleted. The guy who wrote the software for the comments system (jComments) came out with an update fixing the issue, but what a weird issue to have. Anyways, I managed to restore all but 40 of the names back to the SQL database using an old backup I had of the site and some rough PHP coding of mine. The missing names come from comments that were made after October 2010. Another reminder to back up data on a regular basis whether it is on your local computer or off in the cloud somewhere.
