Bamboo often loses its data on what feed items have been read if e.g. Firefox crashes when it happens to be updating. And since updating feeds tends to stress memory, this is not as uncommon as one might wish. That in itself is not too bad, although it's sure annoying to have to mark thousands of feed items read... especially if some of them have been updated since you last checked. However, once in a while, Bamboo will get itself wedged more thoroughly, and have to revert to a "security backup", whatever that is. Today, though, even that didn't work, and absolutely nothing shows up. A program that can lose existing data to nothing more than ill-timed crashes is fundamentally coded wrong. There should be no way to overwrite the list of feeds like that.
