We had a full PHP hissy fit on the server overnight.
I won’t bore everyone with the gory details, but it wasn’t a forum bug or anything user-side. PHP completely fell over at the server level and refused to execute anything.
To get the site back up cleanly, I had to restore from the Feb 21 backup, which means posts made on Feb 22 are unfortunately gone.
Annoying, yes. But the alternative was a longer outage or a half-broken forum, so this was the least bad option.
Apologies to anyone who lost posts. I've just pulled the guts out of the server to get this working at 4am so I am annoyed right there with you..
