Noting some database issues this morning.   I will be looking to fix at around 10:30 when I have a good connection - please note posts, messages etc posted in next 2 hours may be lost.

Posting to test we're back up.

Looking good ... If anyone changed an ancient post after 8 a.m. this morning, your changes may have been lost.  Pretty improbable, me thinks.

Due to database issues, the server won't be available for a period of up to one hour later today; I'll try to be as quick as possible and choose a quiet time.

OK .. I think I managed that in a few minutes.   Any edits made to posts over a year old between 20:00 last night and 13:00 today will have been lost.   I don't expect there were any  Wink

Forum live again - but further backups happening over next half hour / may be a bit sluggish.

Just a brief note (and not strictly databases) and an apology ... forum missing from 18:39 to 19:59.  Probably due to a relentless buildup of log files and other stuff (such as check pointed backs) which lead to the server being rather full. You folks will keep on using this forum  Grin

Purely in the interests of continuity and clarity, I've now merged a couple of topics here - and renamed it accordingly.  Wink

Another of those occasions this morning - fixed.   Any posts from 10:18 to about 10:40 may need to be re-submitted - sorry about that.   A couple of stn age character have crept back in, but I can fix them next time and they won't overwhelm us again.

Sorry about the 10 minute outage - just back.    You may find special characters "breeding" again - don't worry; I'll take them out next time. I only realised once I'd taken the database down that the trick code was ... there in the database!

Something got seriously damaged on our database server ... I have rolled back forum to 16:18 and I am about to roll back the main set on this server - http://www.wellho.net - from which many images are used on the Coffee Shop.

Thanks, yet again, for your update and hard work 'behind the scenes', grahame.  Wink

I've just taken the opportunity to update the heading for this particular topic - purely in the interests of accuracy and completeness. Grin

A few problems this morning - sorry.  Just put a quick fix in (from a 153 between Chippenham and Swindon). Will check back later.
