Okay, I just tried that third version and it works, though the same problems with missing posts, threads, and PMs are happening for me as well.

I'm not sure what to do...is barrowdowns.com the version I should be using? Should I copy and paste the posts I wrote here that aren't showing up in the other version?

Yes, it's the same with PMs.

I don't know if we should somewhat decide which version to use? It's a bit strange to open two different Downs' in order to see the replies the threads have got. I'd suggest the barrowdowns.com one - things posted there show up on the normal Downs main page though one cannot access them from there.

That's true. However, I can't help to wonder - the www.barrowdowns.com one is actually instead of the Barrow-downs "normal" page, the not-forum one. I am actually worried that all we post, rep or PM on one version or another is at stake. I only hope something happens that solves the matter soon - that's the best we can do.

I opened all the three and made some comparisons.

It looks like the forum.barrowdowns.com (where you can't navigate or log in) has the same entries and posts as www.barrowdowns.com. This 69.51.5.41 seems to be a thing of its own or separate entity which has started growing to it's own direction. So I'm afraid that anything posted here in the 69. -pages will eventually vanish - so every post made, every reputation given, every PM's sent etc. will go too, or should we say stay here in the 69. -pages - when the Downs are back again.

But will things posted here in the Barrowdowns.com remain after the logging-problem is solved we probably don't know. It at least seems that different smilies and icons are not usable in that version of the Downs either so maybe even things posted / done there will not last?

So I'd say one should actually make back up copies of one's posts to be sure if one thinks her/his contribution should last. I'm primarily thinking about the RPG's and possible more "serious" discussions where people have invested a lot of time and thought to their posts. Also I'd refrain from giving any reputation before the thing is settled (I never had time to rep my great fellow-players and enemies after the last WW-game but I will be at it when I'm sure they will stay).

But as things are I'd encourage people to use the Barrowdowns.com and not the 69. -pages as the latter seem to be different from the forum.barrowdowns.com.
