Technical Burp Today
« on: April 09, 2012, 12:53:35 PM »
It seems we have been down most of the day today (UK time zone).

It took a while to fix, but it is now done. Burp over. Nothing lost. Normal service is now resumed.  tiphat

Glad the site's back up. I was having some withdrawal symptoms.  :) I blame Herrie for the outage!

 I didn't realize how much I enjoyed checking in and reading.

Perhaps Mrs. Manny would do a better job tinkering with RUA controls next time?  :laugh:

It just crashed. The auto repair couldn't run because we had so many backups in the wrong partition - something like that. Deleted some stuff, host did something with partitions, ran a repair again and it worked.

It is back on but I think some posts were lost from a time stamp some where aroun 9:00 in the morning. Remember reading something from TomT and I think Vinny? I also posted and it is not present. Not so important AvHdB drivel.

Further the flags and smilies are missing - but latter on will reset Firefox.

This isn't a vital feature, but scrolling to the  bottom where it shows what members are online, it says only 3 members and 14 guests.  The members it shows me are myself, Herrie, and MissAmeno.

Edit: it's now up to 6 members online.  But I'm sure there are many more members online.

Boy, am I pissed. It was a very slow day at work and nothing available to read to pass the time. This forum here is better than a 3 month old People magazine at the doctor's office.  :smokin:

Well, we had to have a big crash when I was busy all day.  :hidechair:

Thankfully, I was alerted by a voicemail from Shakey and an email from Herrie early this evening. I gather we had been down a few hours when I heard.

Our host soon fixed it when informed.

All should now be well.  :nod:
