Apologies for service outage this weekend

Post by jtaylor »

Not sure quite what happened to the forum this weekend - it became "disabled" somehow, and at this point I'm not too sure how (a bit worrying) - will keep an eye on it and see if I can work out what happened.

Apologies for the loss of service,

Julian

Apologies - will look at this this evening again, and see what's happened.

I'm suspecting that there was some sort of backup/restore issue by our web hosting company, which didn't get communicated by them - and thus old files have overwritten new, and database changes might have been rolled back. Really can't tell.

Real Names will be an easy fix though...
