Bug in "Favorite Boards" widget?

I can see recent messages to some of my favorited boards that were posted last night. They are listed under the "recent messages" widget but are not coming up under my "favorite boards" widget. Some kind of a bug?

My messages aren't showing up in favorite boards, and nothing in recent threads either

There was a maintenance update last night at 1 AM eastern. Something probably went pear-shaped and Ryan will get it fixed once he wakes up.

There are people commenting on the About Atlas Quest board too.

The only favorite boards that still show up for me right now are ones whose newest messages are a couple of weeks ago.

Most of the unread messages in my Favorite Boards widget have disappeared. I'm only showing about half a dozen boards with unread messages this morning.

Looks like what we will have to do till Ryan wakes up is keep clicking on the Recent Messages button to see if any new messages have come in. Or just watch that area for those we have not read. We will still miss some if we have to leave and come back later, however. Probably.

Ah, shoot..... Sorry about this, everyone. I was rather surprised when I logged in this morning and didn't see the usual assortment of new messages. The bug should be fixed now, but unfortunately, the information in the database about your position on each of the message boards was overwritten. I don't really have any easy way of restoring that information. There are backups, but it would roll back to messages that you have actually read and they wouldn't have any information about changes to your favorite boards since the backup happened.

So you'll want to scroll through some of the most recent posts and boards to catch any missed messages. But from here on out, it ought to be working correctly. Sorry about this!
