    Damn, I'm glad that I finally got it to work again. I couldn't let the prejudice that CS academics have no clue about how to operate computers in the real world win 🙂

      But I’m not finding the thread where I was voted the smartest, most talented, and best looking man on the forum…

      Still, it’s nice to have 99%! Good job, Klaus!

        Nice going, Klaus - and thanks for all your work on this.

        I think we should award you a 100% pay-raise!

          I keep telling you all Twitter is bad!

          @Klaus nice work man, I know that was a PITA.

          BTW... does this mean I have 3 Reputation now? No more waiting 120 seconds!

                  About profile pictures and uploads - @Axtremus could you maybe manually scan a backup that is at least three days old whether it contains a public/uploads folder or something? Maybe I can restore profiles etc.; I think I have only the backup of the database, but not of that folder (which is where profile images live).

                  Never mind, @Axtremus - thanks to the AWS command line tools I was able to download the full backups now.

                              OK, I've now killed the other forum.

                              From now on, I'm going to use a new workflow for updates: Before updating the main forum, I'll make a clone and test it there. That should hopefully make events like this less likely to occur.

                              Oh, I also found all file uploads, so all previously uploaded files (such as "copy&pasted" images) should work again.
