**Forum URL:** https://ampmod.flarum.cloud **A clear description of the issue:** So basically, discussions are somehow randomly being deleted from my forum, and some users have reported not being able to create a discussion. There's even a whole megathread about it right [here](https://ampmod.flarum.cloud/d/203). If there was a backup of the forum it would be appreciated if we could roll back.

@"amp"#p2505 I think the issue might be somehow related to post mentions, but I can't confirm this. Mind if I register a temporary admin account to test this? FYI I have restored backup for your DB from 2025-04-21, and also saved the database before the rollback (if you ever want to go back to 2025-04-23 01:35:12 UTC)

@"SKevo"#p2507 You are free to, but to avoid confusion just letting you know that to follow suit with our wiki, mods are called admins and admins are called bureaucrats

Also we might need to roll back to an older time, roughly around the one where a "List of Rejected Suggestions" and a "ampmod website sneak peek" existed

> @"amp"#p2509 Also we might need to roll back to an older time, FreeFlarum keeps backups for 7 days, shall I rollback to the oldest one then? Also, please let me know if the issue happens again so I can check the logs and find the cause (in that case, we possibly won't have to rollback)

@"SKevo"#p2510 Sure, but if there's any way to merge the current database with the backup, please do so

@"amp"#p2512 sorry for the late response, I've rolled back your forum to backup from 2025-04-16. Let's see if the issue persists - ideally, it would be useful if there was some consistent way to reproduce the issue, so we can figure out the exact culprit

@"SKevo"#p2513 Unfortunately there is often a random chance of it happening, but you can stalk https://ampmod.flarum.cloud/t/bugs-and-glitches and see if anyone reports it. Also, you could enable the Blog extension and try to make a blog post, as errors happened to me that caused the entire text of the blog post to disappear when posting.

@"amp"#p2515 ``` flarum.ERROR: TypeError: FoF\Webhooks\Helpers\Post::getContent(): Return value must be of type ?string, array returned in /data/host/skeleton/vendor/fof/webhooks/src/Helpers/Post.php:48 ``` Try disabling the FoF Webhooks extension and see if it helps

Severe forum issues (discussions randomly deleting, etc.)

SKevo You mean this one? Seems like I already replied there, did you check?

oh i saw the reply

amp

@SKevo apparently the issues are continuing for some reason. the issues have gotten so bad we even plan to move our forums to our own servers once we have one.

two stickied topics got deleted so could we possibly do manual restoration? (specifically the help with ampmod directory and mega-directory)

SKevo

amp pparently the issues are continuing for some reason

I am sorry to hear that, but I can’t help you. I have no idea why it happens (there are still zero logs that are relevant to the issue and there is no way to consistently reproduce the issue or observe it on my end). Moving to your own server is probably the best idea at this point, and I fully respect that decision.

amp two stickied topics got deleted so could we possibly do manual restoration? (specifically the help with ampmod directory and mega-directory)

Could you please tell me their IDs, or at least their titles and approx. date and time when they got removed?

amp also could all existing discussions have their FoF language set to English

I would rather not modify the database manually unnecessarily. Is this important for you?

mega dir: 323
hwam dir: 316

SKevo I would rather not modify the database manually unnecessarily. Is this important for you?

yea:

all existing topics are in english
we are internationalizing the forums, so if we turn on the option to show only posts from one’s language, you can barely see anything

amp

also this discussion (this one, not anything on my forum) is getting long, could you possibly split it?

amp

@SKevo

amp

@SKevo any updates?
i’ve seen you post on other topics so…
see posts above, but the old backups might be gone today or tomorrow

SKevo

amp apologies for the late response

The backups are here from 2025-05-17 and 2025-05-18. In 17, the discussions are here, although “Help with AmpMod Directory” has 2 posts and “AmpMod Forums Mega-Directory” only has 1. 18 doesn’t have the discussions anymore.

I would rather share their text content privately with you on this forum rather than proceed to make manual changes to the DB, if that’s fine with you?

amp

SKevo fine w/ me

SKevo

amp sent you a private discussion with the backend discussion contents

amp

also blog extension goes crazy with so many requests to some random /tags/36 endpoint (sorry if that nuked your servers)

amp there’s nothing I can do with that, as I do not maintain the extension. Please, ask in that extension’s thread
