Now I get a slightest idea how did Dave fill when the forum crushed. I did some stupid clicks and delited some files from my computer. I had hard time to restor some files but quite some pics that was stored on computer are lost forever. I'm moaning for three days but it doesn't get any better. I believe now it's time to stop and get over it.

Maja,
I am sorry to hear that you had your own version of this disaster.

Really frustrating! Have you tried a system restore Majcka? It will take your comp. back to how it was at a certain date and time. Might not work, but worth a try if you have not already tried it.

Thanks for the tip but... I tried many things. Even unerase programs. The catch is, it restores all of the bits but... the jpg file is not valid. All I can get of it is a litle red cross. The problem is that pics were too large for the recycle bin and were erased somewhere alse where obviousli was no way back. I did save some other files thow for example some construction calculation of the building. That was the most important thing. As of the pics... I still have both originals with me (read: my children).

First I too want to voice my appreciation for the efforts to restore the cactiguide site. At least now things are almost back to the way they were before.
Once again, thank you Daiv and everyone else who was involved with the restoration efforts.

Things seemed like they were getting back to normal as of a few days ago. I just logged in and found that my avatar was gone and some others are as well. Were more photos lost? Or was it possibly stored on my computer for a little while after the disaster?

It hapend to my avatar aswell. I simply erased it from it's place and put it on again. It works since.

No more pictures have been lost - so if anyone notices avatars missing - it would be from clearing your cache. Doing a ctrl+F5 should do the trick for anyone if you want to clear your cache.

Thanks Daiv! That's what I was wondering, but I was unsure. I just need to find my avatar photo, I know it is on my computer somewhere....
