    Database problems.... Maybe regi Jinxed it the other day when he said they did a nightly backup, but hadn't used it yet.

    Database got very unhappy during last night's backup, and got corrupted. Could only fix it now. What lump says is untrue tho - we have had to restore from the previous day's backup once.

    I'd love to see another community website fare as well as boards under the pressure. :)

    i think you'll find this kinda thing happens with most databases..

    Apparently there's some muse forum that has to start over every week or so cos they don't know how to backup the database :rolleyes:
