Originally posted by RussCool! Obviously you wouldn't want anyone to modify moves which were outside the date range of when the moves were lost.
I will look into adding the option to fix bodged restored moves. (delete them so they can be re-entered)
Check back here in 48 hours, I should have something up.

The issue last week (Thread 86184) has resulted in the game history being switched off for all affected games. It is now possible to fix any missing entries from a game history. The following comments are reposted from another thread.

Replace xxxxxx with the id for the ...[text shortened]... ll moves have been entered, you will be informed that the history is complete

EDIT: Oops, Russ, you aren't a tool. 😉
EDIT: Actually, I see what you are getting at. You are talking about where games couldn't be repaired, then allow for games to play from the point of where it was lost onwards. All depends on how it was developed. I suppose it can be modified so it would be like a set game and play from that point. Although, in this case, they would be rated games.
Originally posted by NordlysAnyone know the answer to this? I have a finished game with a message log I'd like to keep. I am not sure I can reconstruct the game anyway, but if that's what needs to be done to retain the message log, I would at least try; but if restoring the moves would result in erasing the messages, I'd rather leave the game without the move history.
Does this affect in-game messages? And does the complete removal of the game history if you don't use the tool affect in-game messages?

Originally posted by lauseyYes, all these moves are being made that aren't being recorded. One could just start recording them now so that their move histories would begin with a FEN. .pgn files can do this. Then people can go in with this tool and complete the games if they want.

Originally posted by Bad wolfThanks. I took the risk (after taking a copy of the message log), and it worked out fine. It turned out that only one move was corrupted, and once that was fixed, the messages of all the later moves were still there and now attributed to the correct person again.

Edit: Oops... The message log is fixed, but the move history isn't. Now I get the same error message others have been reporting earlier in this thread: "This game has a complete history, but it is corrupt and now cannot be fixed." 🙁
