All my posts are gone, but I was able to post a new one , and I was congratulated for my first post :p
I had just finished my move to vivaldi.net …that was a close one
Crazyaboutmika … I noticed that on at least 2 of your posts, you used Smilies, which are still hosted at MyOpera. Just a little FYI … when MyOpera shuts down, those Smilies will cease to display. In their place there will be either the Smilies URLs or a box that says “image” in it. I forget which one is the case.
The good thing is that in the small sample of your posts that I saw, you didn’t appear to have used Smilies in many posts. That should make your editing task much easier. You can either delete the Smilies … or host them elsewhere than on MyOpera and then install the new URLs.
Another Tip, just in case you hadn’t done this already …
For your poems to remain safe and so you won’t lose them, you should save them on MS Word Docs.
This way, if by some freak occurrence our posts disappeared overnight from Vivaldi, you wouldn’t lose your poems. Or if sometime in the future Vivaldi is gonna shut down, you wouldn’t be at the mercy of how much time they’d give us to get our stuff out of here.
Well, that’s what I’ve done ever since I was on MyOpera. I saved each individual post in its own MS Word Doc. And all of my stuff is backed up on 3 Flash Drives.
I didnot move yet. Sad. they were supposed to stay imho until friday, but whatsapp and other apps messed up, as well lately so … guess there will be a lot of turbulence because of the end of the world, as we know it? Still there is vivaldi.net at least, that is one thing. Evolution. Revolution maybe. I amstill alive.
Suntana, thanks a lot for caring π I have a huge history of losing data…and the only data I could save at that point was what I had shared online. I have also saved my poems in my pc thanks to HTTtrack website copier which is a blessing and tomorrow I’ll save my PC copy into an external hard drive and a USB key as well. I m thinking of having them published at lulu.com as well but I yet have to turn them into PDF before I can do that. However that would give me copyrights and my poems are my babies so I’ll plan to learn all about PDF next week as I’ll be on holidays.
The posts you’ve seen are new and I even got a welcome and thank you for posting your first blog at my.opera which was rather ironical I thought :p
I hope I’ll be able to edit with vivaldi smileys when they get a little more numerous, but I guess I’ll also be able to find red hearts somewhere , as they are my fav smileys π
Lucky , thanks for caring too π It’s ok I had enough time to save all that mattered in my pc and on vivaldi.net
I think you still have time, that’s just typical of me, always getting into the wrong line in the supermarket , you know the one where there’s a bug, or trying to buy the one item that has no price :p
If all goes well you still have three days to save what matters…Best wishes for you to make it. I have saved mikaopera in my pc so you don’t have to worry about that part.
And yes, we’re still alive, that is the most important to stay and keep our dreams alive no matter what happens π
That’s probably the ultimate initiation into the Official Computer Users Club … experiencing a major data loss episode. We all experience at least one major data loss incident before we hopefully learn our lesson to get into backing up our stuff.
In my case, the irony is that my 1st data loss incident was not because I didn’t have at least 1 backup copy of my stuff, but rather because of my overzealousness with trying to achieve better efficiency. At that time I only had 1 Backup CD. Well, one day I read somewhere how to update my Backup CD more efficiently … probably by saving only the files that had changed instead of saving everything again.
I was all excited … Ooooooo, YEAH! I gotta try that! Well, I obviously misunderstood a step somewhere in there because when I finally clicked on the button to update the CD … POOF! I wound up with a BLANK CD! [img]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GPOI6rKhoLk/UnwOWNZf9XI/AAAAAAAAAOs/ZuCdtD01ZdM/s1600/Scared.gif[/img] I immediately felt warm & weak all over as I knew that was my only Backup CD … and because I knew I hadn’t reinstalled that stuff into my Hard Drive after the recent Windows Reinstall.
I definitely learned my lesson. Now I always keep at least 3 Backup copies.
Awww what a pity π
I now have a copy of my stuff online , on my netbook , on an external drive and on some SD cards as well …but I have to keep them up to date..yes three copies or four is the best π
I hope you didn’t lose too much in that sad episode…
I lost all my data in a netbook crash too years ago except what was online , I know how bad that is π and I had bought an external hard drive a week before but I hadn’t transferred my data yet…
I’m very careful too now…
That’s odd. The forums are supposed to remain until tomorrow when they become read only
