Title: Downtime caused by recent database error
Post by: Sylvia on April 27, 2010, 15:26:25

Thanks to the fast-working support team at Dreamhost, the forum is back in working order! :yippee:

I have no idea what caused the error, but I sure am relieved they were able to fix it. That was very scary!

Just a small heads-up about this...

The site has been backed up from a period in time before the database error occured. Consequently you may find a few small gaps - missing posts, that type of thing. I've already been informed of a biggie - our most recent new member's profile has vanished! :o Working on getting her back right now...

Thanks for the quick fix Sylvia. Playmofriends is one of the few sites I check daily, often several times a day, so it's a relief to have it back so quickly.

Like cachalote I was thinking "oh no, not again"  :wave:

Thanks for fixing the site.  I figured it was temporarily down, but I had no doubt it would be up and running by today.

All sorted out!  :)9
She hadn't had the chance to post before it disappeared, so all that was needed was to create a new account for her. :)
