PerplexCityTrades messed up?

Yesterday I couldn't even sign on, getting a weird error that Skenmy's password was invalid (yes, it gave the password). Now I can sign in, but my profile shows the last update was 2nd May 2006 (3:01), when I updated just a couple of days ago. And I only have 5 feedbacks, when I did have 13 (I think). Is *everyone's* profile messed up? If so, how can we find traders, with the profiles in their present condition? I was hoping to find some kind of reassuring message on the home page, but nope! Oh, *please* tell me it was backed up and can be restored!!! Crying or Very sad

:::::mutters about not being able to trade now, when wave 4 is released::::: Shocked

There is a post on the perplexcity.com forums that says something along the lines of there was a trojan that hit the server perplexcitytrades.com was on. The site wasn't backed up so they had to replace the site using a backup of the database which I gather is a bit old. That said, I just put a profile on the site and as far as I can tell everything is working for me.

Couple of things:

1) No - YES isn't my password. It's telling you that it was trying to use a password.

2) Yep - we got hit by a trojan. It crippled the server - so we couldn't take a backup of the data. Thankfully Ben had a recent(ish) backup - so we installed that.

We truly are sorry for the inconvienience (sp on that) - but there is nothing we can do. I will notify everyone later on.

Same for me H4T. I suppose we could contact the people we have traded with to get feedback restored - personally I'm going to wait and see about feedback but I have updated my card wants needs.

I seem to remember something being said about it in #syzygy irc but can't remember what the problem was and my uni block access to the logs, for reasons known only to themselves, so I can't check...

EDIT: took too long writing this and skenmy answered all.

Thanks, Skenmy!

I can't access my feedback now, to see when the last one was. Sad

OMG! Everybody hurry and update your profiles before wave 4 hits! Shocked
