Power outage and posted messages.

Post by NoNo »

Hi there!
I realized I had a power outage over night while ue was posting stuff.
I just relaunched it, and it did some newsgroups repair, nice work by the way.
But when I wanted to continue posting stuff that was interrupted I couldn't find the last messages in the "posted messages" pane.
In fact I have no more posted messages for the last 16days in that pane (I remember I created around 25 posts on that period).
Well it is no a big issue since I just recreate last post, but I was wondering since I don't restart ue often, is it because of the repair work?
That seems quite a big of a gap (I have the Backup "Save all" every 90min).

It just discards damaged records with wrong checksum, maybe was some discrepancy because of system caching.

E.g. I've just changed some record then invoked "save all" then killed UE then restarted and the change was reflected, so most likely it is system restored disk to some older "consistent" state from its point of view, especially with Windows 7 such behavior maybe is more likely.
