Hi :blob-wave-reverse: I’ve been receiving those PMs for the last two days. Each time the instance is reset I suppose. Hello, This is an automated message from Discourse Demo to let you know that your account is no longer on hold after staff review. You can now create new replies and topics again. Thank you for your patience. Why is there such a message, and can it be disabled? Thanks! :hugs: Edit: try.discourse.org is empty. Have I missed something? :thinking:

[image] Canapin: Edit: try.discourse.org is empty. Have I missed something? :thinking: IIRC try.discourse.org resets daily, so previous stuff may be cleaned out. I know this since I have to always register when I try it out.

I mean it used to be populated with pre-existing dummy accounts, topics, etc.

I’ve been getting these too, seems something might be off with the daily restore process… we’ll look into it!

I haven’t gotten any of these before but I just did for the first time today strangely. [image]

Thanks for the reports! This should solve the problem: DEV: Ensure db_timestamps_mover only touches non-null columns (#40851) main ← db-timestamps-mover opened 01:45PM - 14 Jun 26 UTC (UTC) [image] davidtaylorhq +1 -0 The change in 08666408a68ca037b272a9ff5f47920083a73018 caused all timestamp colu…mns to fallback to use `now()`, even if they were previously null. That included things like `users.silenced_at`, `topic.deleted_at`, etc., which caused all sorts of strange behavior. Edit: now deployed to try.discourse.com
