Where Did My Database Go?

Yahoo told me via email that they fixed all the Database bugs in Groups. I went to look at my Databases, and saw my biggest one is completely gone! How do I get it back? Years of data is gone. My group is Nutshell_Cubbyhole and the name of the missing database is Prior Group Reads, By Author. Please fix this!

Update:

Now database is back, but jumbled up. Some listed alphabetically, but some not towards the bottom of the database. I STILL cannot add an entire row of info. I click Add Row, type in ALL info, click SAVE and then only one column in the row has info in it. AND it's not put back in the database alphabetically. This needs fixing.

    Try using Ragic instead of trusting Yahoo Groups for your database. You can set up your database really fast, and you don't need any programming skills.

    It's great if you want to build your own database system, it works like creating an excel spreadsheet, but you can have relational linking options, user access management, embed on your website, and more.

    Our group, Carolina Border Collie Rescue, also has lost it's database. Based on past performance by customer service I really don't expect assistance.
