Help Help - I have accidently deleted my weblog

If you want exactly what I did tonight then its going to take a while, so bear with me. I can't remember the macro/skin names exactly but I hope my *description* will be enough.

My objective tonight was to remove the "edit/subscribe/your subscriptions" from the "logged in" skin leaving just "logged in as JohnWalsh" and "you are Admin of this weblog" in the "Status Menu". This saved OK.

Then I decided to add the code I cut from the "logged in" skin i.e. edit/subscribe/your subscription links to the administrator navigation skin so that only the administrator (me) controls subscriptions. When I saved this code, I lost everything i.e. all my stories went blank, but I still had the navigation (no calendar/history) at the side with "[macro ???]" where I added the code. I couldn't get into the skins so I used my browser back button to get back to the administrator navigation skin form; removed the code I just pasted into the skin, and saved. Everything was the same before I edited the administrator navi skin.

Then I added the "login macro???" to the administrator navi skin. I can't remember the exact name of this macro but its mentioned in relation to the "logged in" skin in the skins section. I saved the skin, and I just got "[macro ???]" again, but this time I didn't lose my stories.

When all this didn't work I decided to "remove skin" for the "loggedin" skin. I was warned about deleting the skin and pressed "delete". Next I had a url of johnwalsh.antville.org/skins/edit with a message "url/johnwalsh was not found on this server". I tried to use the back button again, but it didn't work this time.

In hindsight I should have probably removed the "loggedin???" macro from the administrator navi skin but I didn't think this would delete my entire weblog !!

I cannot remember the names exactly as I can nolonger *see* the skin/macro names, but I think I have given enough info for you to work with.

I basically used the weblog to document the design changes I made to the weblog. In all I would say I lost 6 mandays of work eventhough I have been with antville longer than that as most of that time was trial and error as there was very little documentation. Is there a *known* method for somebody with authority like mine to delete a weblog? Why can I still log on if my weblog is deleted? Is there any chance of a restore? If there is no chance of a restore, am I better off setting up a weblog on another site besides antville, especially with all this talk of antville being full?

I look foward to your response and if you have any further questions, just ask. I hope this helps

Robert,

Thanks for restoring my weblog.

What javascript bug are you referring to as I didn't notice anything? Could this bug and what I actually did cause a weblog to be deleted? Finally, what changes did you actually make as I couldn't identify the changes?
I knew an administrator could delete a story but I didn't think I could delete the entire weblog - where is this option normally (i know its switched off now)?
I am willing to try to recreate the problem, but you would need to put back the "bug" code and allow deletion of weblogs again. Just let me know

Regards

John
