I know what you mean Martin, I moved my computer to decorate and when I put it back together the mouse did not work. EXACTLY the same eh?:D

Ever since I've briefed the techies and the server company to beef up the sites defences.

So it's your fault then! You numpty! :rolleyes:

Just waiting on that site to load, have you tried any? I'm trying to load 29 June 2007 which is the date that posts have gone missing from.

It was working when I checked but has suddenly crawled to a stop, presumably due to everyone suddenly looking at it.

Guys, it's no good if we all crash the servers and stop Martin and the team checking it out so please stay off the site until they can ascertain if it's going to be of any use to them :beer:

It is slow, but getting there.

I'm somewhere in Mobile Phones, early August

I can't even begin to imagine the stress that you (and indeed your team)have been, and are still under. Thank you for letting us know what is going on.

Hi folks, that's old cache may be useful if we can't find it.

As an ultra back up. We could get a team of volunteers to go reposting important posters and stickies and building them with info. Its a great idea and nice to know there's a back up.

The joy of this site is I know if we need that help that many regulars would give up some time to put it all back together.

Yet even if we can't fix it

Ahh man! I was gonna do something special for my 20,000 post and url every single one of them in a SS celebratory thread! :doh:

If you have any recordings of your conversations with the server company please post them so we can all learn and have a great laugh

It's one of the biggest databases in the world, and is hardly going to crash because of a couple of hundred visits from MSE readers

There's loads of music other audio and video on there, for example, which uses quite a bit more bandwidth.

I was looking at MSE pages there about 5 hours ago, and it was a bit slow then
