There seems to have been some strange database problems overnight (Sun 24th). People have complained that posts/topics have disappeared and that they have received SQL errors.

Please let me know on this thread if you have had a problem.

The problem was with our webhosts - see this statement from them:

"We discovered a problem with server 7 so migraded the data over to a fresh server however this did not complete fully on the first run resulting in us needing to re-run the migration to ensure all files and data were copied over to the new server. This will have resulted in the forum being reset to how it was on the old server and any post made between the migration runs being lost."


Apologies for any lost posts - I can't retrieve them I'm afraid but please re-post if you want.

Thanks
Nicola
