Ok guys, worst case scenario: we're going to have to shut down and roll back to an earlier version (late afternoon).

Sorry to do this to you...

Sorry for the interruption again. The damage was greater than we'd initailly hoped and the database failed once more. I took the decision to close things up and try to fix it completely rather than be up and down all evening.

We're back on track now but we still need your feedback as we can't check everything here ourselves. If we tried, you wouldn't see the Forums again until the weekend.

Thanks for all your feedback before, it helped us locate the problem and if there are any issues at all, please post them below.

Thanks again for your patience and here's hoping....


Webby

Only feedback I can offer is the message I was getting - "There seems to have been a slight problem with the database.

Please try again by pressing the refresh button in your browser. An E-Mail has been dispatched to our Technical Staff, who you can also contact if the problem persists. We apologise for any inconvenience."

I hope that you're not overwhelmed by automated messages from me

And some topics had 0 viewings, even though there'd been replies ...

intel

Oi Webby :wave:

Are you rolling back database or thinking about it as a worst case scenario?

Cheers

Webby? Not that I post pics or anything, but I do waffle on a bit but is it best that posts are kept to a minimum, like even just text posts on important threads??

If we do have to roll back, it will mean that anything posted, edited, deleted, pm'd or otherwise after 4:45pm or so this afternoon will not have happened.

It will all be deleted / undone.

intel? I daren't ask webby what the problem is but I know there was a record set with users online etc ...

Is it bandwidth? I'm only asking because I'm sure things like avatars (thanks for mine btw might use up too much?
