We have copied over the affected threads to a bug-free database table, but there will be glitches associated with these threads lingering. These can include bookmark and journal links being broken (delete from your journal/bookmarks, then go back and re-add them), views and recs counter being reset back to 0 (sorry, nothing to be done about it) and a small number of replies being lost.

Where are the threads/posts now, and when/how can we find and re-add them as per your instructions?

Right now ten of my fifteen most recently recced threads seem to be gone...or at least the links to them from "My Recommendations" go to random posts from 2011. That's a lot of gold from DU missing. I'm glad you have backups.

Thanks in advance for help figuring out how to do the re-add.

Also, this is important: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1013&pid=4359
