Hi folks,

Our server was restarted today, and this caused MySQL (our database server that contains our forum) a bit of grief. Whilst I look into causes, I will need to take a backup as we nearly lost all PMs, posts, and attachments.

When: 10 pm - 11 pm tonight 14/11/2012

How long: ~ 1 hour

What you can do whilst we are off: Discovery Turbo Max had Campervan Crisis on until last Friday. Consider watching that resto if you have Foxtel. Also, read books, talk to $partner or $kids or $pets, or watch YouTube.

thanks,
Andrew

Not missing any PM's over here Andrew, how many users were effected?
Still haven't heard back from you in regards to the WP install and what not. Want to get working on that that is for sure.

Good luck tonight!

No posts, PMs or attachments are missing as far as I can tell.

The virtual host has rebooted like four times today. I've got some contingencies in place (moving the site to my place) if this continues, but let's stick with Plan A if things stay up.

thanks,
Andrew

I'm postponing backup until bedtime (circa midnight). Go nuts for a couple of hours.
