Looks like the info in the site's subscription database got hammered right around midnight. And its back up now but without old info.
Was that an upgrade or a glitch?

This is the first I've heard of it, so I've got to assume that it was a glitch. If it's causing any serious problems, let me know and I'll get with our tech folks.

Nuthin' serious at all. I probably use subscriptions more than some; the list of topics I've subscribed to and not yet read up to date on is usually (I think) longer than most here would have. At midnight it (all) disappeared, then just afterward when someone posted to a topic I'd subscribed to, that listing did then appear for me to click on.

Even if that info was in a single file for the whole site and you had a backup I would not recommend restoring it. Instead I'd leave well-enough alone and see if it happens any more.

my two pennies.
