Website downtime this past weekend.

Apologies for the downtime Sunday evening through Monday, I attempted a software upgrade that went terribly wrong! Shocked

After a couple of hours trying to solve the upgrade problems, I decided to revert to earlier data.

Fortunately I had backed up the website prior to the upgrade. Unforunately, when my webhost attempted to restore the earlier backup, they goofed it up... the website only had partial restoration of the files! I found entire directories of data were missing Mad

Even more frustrating, they accidently deleted the backup I had made of the data prior to the upgrade. After working with their tech's today, we started down the tedious process of restoring our data from a redundant automated backup kept on their servers. It returned us to a time approximately Saturday at 8pm. Any posts or submissions from then until Sunday where lost, and I apologize. Luckily though that is all we lost.

Keep an eye on things and if anyone notices any broken links, missing images or other oddites that dont seem to be working as well, let me know.

MRFixIT, maybe you were missed last weekend? Smile

And Dallan, I think everybody is happy that you know more about this stuff than I do. And maybe we don't thank you often enough, often we forget about such things. But who'll think about Mr. Ford when his car is still running? In my opinion he gets more 'prayers' when the car broke down.
So next time you're in need for some thanking, ... Smile
