Forum Server Outage

[MdCaterer]

It's awesome that you know how to fix it and can!! Thanks.
I hope no one was hurt when the other server had their explosion.

Something is goofy, Posts are going to the beginning, instead of at the end.

This is not a serious issue...but on this new forum posts are not showing up in the order they are being posted. Posts I just made a appearing before other posts on the same thread. Not a big deal but definitely different!

My thanks too!

I have moved the forum to a new server in a different data center. There are still several broken images and avatars. I will be fixing those as soon as I can. You can upload your avatar to fix it now if you like.

The outage comes from the hosting company I was using has a massive explosion that blew out three walls of their electrical room. Some 7,000 servers and 10,000 customers are without service right now. I regularly make backups for the forum and we are running on the most recent backup I have.

I will be going through more of the forum fixing things as I can. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your patience.

Thanks! Very much appreciated! You the man!!! :)
I was going through forum withdrawal! :)


FYI, not that it's a big deal and probably something else that has to be fixed but I notice the times are about 10 pm right now on the forum and it's almost 3pm EST.

Forum is recovering....

I was able to access the old server this afternoon and have downloaded all the images we are missing. Those should be uploading now and things should look better in about 10 mins or so. The Arcade should be back fully functional now.


For those of you wondering about sheneedstoknow.com and chattywomen.com - I will be working on those as soon as the forum finishes its upload. So by early this evening those sites should be back in business.
