Apology for today’s forum issues (09:00–19:00)​

Hi everyone,

I want to sincerely apologize for the forum’s unstable behavior today, roughly from 09:00 to 19:00. During that time the site didn’t work properly and many images were loading incorrectly — either as a white screen or partially white/unfinished.

What happened is entirely on me. I recently noticed that some other communities (especially on Turkish forums) have been copying our descriptions and screenshots, so I decided to implement a watermark system for all images on the forum. I prepared everything, made a backup (of course), and started a full vеrsiоn rebuild to apply watermarks to all existing images.

Unfortunately, the bulk processing did not go as planned and a portion of the images became corrupted. When I tried to roll back, I made an even worse mistake: I accidentally clicked “Delete” instead of “Restore” on the backups. Yes — the same kind of mistake I usually tease people about when they “can’t see the password field”

The last remaining backup was four days old, and we’ve had around 550 new members since then. Restoring that backup would have caused too much data loss, so I decided not to roll back the whole forum and instead fix the damage manually.

Right now I’ve restored about 90% of the affected images. If you still come across broken images, please post the link to the thread (or report the post) and I’ll restore them as quickly as possible.

To make sure this doesn’t happen again, I’ve now configured automatic backups three times per day to Google Drive, and any future large maintenance like this will be tested more carefully and rolled out in smaller batches.

Sorry again for the inconvenience, and thank you for your patience.
