I'm sure one of the mods can try to see if the pages can be recovered. But Nyx is a beta program so it would be a wise move to back up your script to a txt file every so often just incase of inncidents such as this. :-)

At 0:09am (GMT) there is a tease with about 50 pages and the ID 5749. That tease was deleted using the "Delete Tease" function sometime between then and 3:09am at which point you have a new tease with ID 5757 which is empty.

So what I can offer is copying the 50 page script from the 5749 backup of 0:09 am to the new currently empty 5757 tease. Let me know if that is any help.

For anybody else reading this: If you ever lose a script in Nyx, make sure you write down the time or post your complaint immediately, then I know what backup to look in.

But we are recommending (and it says so when you start Nyx) to do your own backups of the script since it's a known problem that due to some elusive error in the Nyx client teases do get lost. We've since realized that the FlashTease system is kind of a dead end and in late 2008 started working on a successor which should come out later this year.

Thanks Seraph0x.

I got it under control I think. (Famous last words).

Perhaps you can tell me how the best way to back up Script is?

I copy the entire page of script and paste it into a Notepad .txt file and store it on my machine.

What do I do with the .txt file though once I have it and in the event I need to repair a lost tease?

Sorry if that is a noob question but I am really not all that puter savvy.

Thanks :-)

Yep just copy and paste everything from the [script] page into a .txt file and save it on your computer. Then if you do lose the tease all you do is copy and paste that text back into the [script] page. You will however need to re-upload the pictures and they will need to have the same file names etc.

Hope that helps. :yes:
