Very Important

I must sincerely apologise for the forum being unavailable for the past hour or two. We have suffered a complete failure of our forums.
I tried my hardest to trace the issue but was unable to, I ended up having to restore last nights backup, i literally had no choice, sorry.

What this means to you all is that any threads you may have posted today (Monday 16th october) have been lost, so you'll all have to post them again.

p.s. I'm gonna have to feed the hampsters more protein I think, they're all on hunger strike...........

Well, I'm thinking of Howard with "more than one wire"

Whoever it was I'm grateful for the fact that Terrys comment on my picture from Sids that I was wearing nail varnish has miraculously disappeared, so no one ever needs to read that

Yikes! Glad you got it fixed.

As we say in NZ, 'Bugger'. You can find out what I am talking about if you go to YouTube and search for Toyota New Zealand Ad and find the advert for Toyota Hilux.

If a day is all you've lost then your backups are better than most. Business continuity is what's important. Well done that gothic!

Im a dev and know that issues can show up cause big problems and the fact you said you solved it in less than two hours immediately impressed me it for you find out about the bug, open the command console, read the logs, see the issue cant be fixed find back up, open back up on production server, run the production server. You have my salute.

With my extensive IT knowledge and expertise I'd suggest you switch it off and back on again should you encounter the problem again.
