We've figured out a few tricks to be able to retrieve threads and posts which were targeted by hackers.
If you notice that a thread is missing posts or won't allow you to go to the following page, you can access its printable version to see it in full. You'll find a "Show Printable Version" button on all threads when you open them. Go to the first post of any thread page. In the top right-hand corner you'll find a series of buttons labelled Thread Tools, Search this Thread, Rate this Thread. etc. If you click on the first one, a drop-down menu will open including the option called "Show printable Version".
Meanwhile, if you're redirected to the homepage when attempting to open a thread, here's what you can do:
Scroll down on any page until you get to the bottom. You'll find a series of buttons in the right-hand corner (Contact Us, NS Community, Mod, Archive, Top). Click on the ARCHIVE button, and you'll get a list of all the fics on the boards from which you'll be able to retrieve their printable versions.
Alternative Trick:
Hover over the thread and look at the bottom left-hand corner of your screen to see the URL of the story you want to access. Take note of the number in this part of the address printthread.php?t=8720. Then copy and paste the following link on your browser replacing the number "8720" with the one you recorded. Then press enter: http://forums.naughty-seduction.net/printthread.php?t=8720&pp=100&page=1 You'll be redirected to the printable version of the story.
By the way, you won't be able to leave comments but you can send feedback to the writers via PM or post feedback in the back-up threads I've already opened for some fics. NO NEW BACK-UP THREADS WILL BE CREATED BY THE WAY.
If you're an author, I suggest adding links to the printable versions of your fics to your master list, so that your readers can leave you feedback there.
Mod's note: Thanks to chrisrose for the alternative tip.
