Question
Topics going AWOL
I have been experiencing some strange anomalies with source
control over the past week.
Users open the project in source control. During the opening of the project some topics are deleted from a number of folders in the project. No popup appears to warn the user of any activity and the user does not have delete rights for that folder.
When checking source control the history shows that user deleted the topic and the time given is the same as the time they opened the project.
All authors use a local copy of the project, it is only myself that uses the server version. We have not had these problems in the last three years. The only worry is we had a non technical person performing some admin tasks when I was away helping another team. They may have done something inadvertently to the set up, but I can’t see what. Anyone have any clue?
There have also been cases where a topic exists in the server version of the project but the local version does not show it. Getting the latest version does not sort this, only copying a fresh version of the project to the local drive fixes the problem, or having that user import the topic from the server. This started the same time so may be related.
