 * I just updated the plugin and when I saw my shortcode was not displaying, I discovered
   that the content of the shortcode I had defined was gone. IS it really gone? 
   Or can I find it in the database or something do I can get it back?

 * I just discovered this also.
    I looked in the options table and found an option
   called shortcoder_data but it didn’t have my data.

 * Aye I’m having this problem too. The plugin seemed to have wiped the data out
   of the DB. Even putting the original data back into shortcoder_data in the DB
   doesn’t seem to sort it. Only solution I’ve found so far is to re-enter it manually
   by looking at the SQL backup I had.
    Shame that!
