Hello everyone and welcome back. As I am sure you noticed, things went a little ary this last week.
The short version of the sorry tale is that the database server was updated, the process went wrong and despite Insurgents best efforts, it just wasn't to be.
We haven't lost any data
(apart from anyone unfortunate enough to be trying to commit to the system at the time
) with this this outage and here we are back up and running on a "new" virtualised database server.
I've also taken the opportunity to move us from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005 and yes, I have fixed the FTC problem so when I have a little time to put into it should now be able to sort out the forum search!
Anyway, we are back on your screens now
Apologies for any inconvenience.
