    Ah, well, I messed up my own forums several times, with some code and database changes. Had to start from the beginning many times...

    You gonna love this.
    Once, on my forum, which was quite active, I did something very stupid and embarrasing.
    I wrote a PM to someone, I think it was some staff members or the whole staff team, and here is the funny part. I sent to the whole community (all registered members!) and some of them replied back.
    I was in PANIC, I lost my head. Now after I think of it I could have deleted those PMs from the database somehow. But yes, it was VERY embarrassing, had no idea where to hide myself. :waa: The PM content was pretty personal and no one else should not have read it.
    Now I always watch out if I want to send a PM ...
