Welcome Back - Forum Issues

[The_Hawk]

As some of you may have noticed we had a few issues today resulting in a little downtime.

What was pre-tested and ready to go decided it wanted to fail when applying the updates to the live system. On the upside we have good backups so we managed to get back up and running within a few hours and it looks like we haven't lost any data which just goes to show that time spent backing things up 28 times isn't really a waste after all

If anyone notices anything not working quite please let me know either via email, PM or in this thread.


It should be mentioned that the updates that were pending are still not complete and will be attempted again later after some more testing to ensure we don't have the same issue again.

I do major upgrades in the wee small hours so if things go wrong there is time to fix it before the users wake up... this was only a minor update and should have just worked... but anyway. Might have to get up really early for this one just in case.

Thanks for all your continuing hard work to make this forum run smoothly Aaron!

Hey Aaron, will that make a difference to notifications? I have noticed that PMs have been taking ages to get to my email address over the last few weeks.

And thanks for keeping the site on an even keel!!

I no longer have the yellow banner saying my PM box is over 90% full.

I no longer have the yellow banner saying my PM box is over 90% full.

Is it still *actually* 90% full?

[Ryan_R]

459/500 so yes.

I have tweaked the settings, can you let me know if you are seeing the message or not?

[Ryan_R]

Nope, sorry

I came here to a new post via Google Reader (RSS) and it was back, then went to come to this thread to let you know and it's not above this thread lol
