Thank you for the updates - glad to hear that resolution may be in sight soon. I've been very happy as a PBase member since Jun 2006. While this recent problem was an annoyance, I haven't lost anything permanently as I back up my photos several ways...and by the sound of things, virtually all lost photos should be up and restored once this issue is fixed.
My only question is related to uploads on Dec 15, 2007, when the catastrophic failures were first occurring or noticed. There was mention that some photos uploaded 'in recent minutes' may be lost and have to be reuploaded - do you have any approximate time frame during which photos were likely lost?
If I've got to reload 100 photos or so, I will - I'm certainly not complaining if that's the worst problem I'll have to face! But it would be nice to have an idea that all photos uploaded between approximately 'x' pm and 'y' pm will have to be reloaded...if you can provide this info.
Again, thank you for the updates, for working on this issue, for backing up your data, and for the great site.
