Here's what the problem was: We were upgrading the forum, and the database went corrupt in the middle. We had to restore the last backup, which was taken at 3 this morning. Anything you've posted since then has been lost forever. Please try to get over it.
Please fix the problem in saving edited posts

I guess who ever did it forget most important rule before you decide to start playing around.. which is take a backup then and there before you do anything.. that doesn't seem to have happened.. and we've travelled back in time.

I guess I was right *gigasmilies.googlepages.com/10.gif

If i am not wrong the latest version of vbulletin is 3.6.8 but they upgraded to 3.6.5 from ver 3.5.4. looks strange.

cyrus the virus : as far as i can say,thinkdigit forum is not a small site , it has a hige database, the restoration process may take a while and with that, the backup must have been so large that it would be really hard/or might be impossible to take backup manually, many servers dont allow that.. so this might be the reason.. and not many posts would have been corrupted.. its not the matter of post count, its the matter of quality..

If anyone is facing problem in saving edited post and can't edit his post, then do as following:

1. Refresh the page containing your post and wait until your post is shown which you want to edit.
2. Click on "Edit" button as soon as your post is displayed. It'll not open quick edit box, instead it'll open the full edit page and then you can edit your post without any problem.

Tested by me and working. :D
