Downtime caused by recent database error
« 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...

It's great that we're back again and thank you Gordon for letting me know that it wasn't just my computer playing up.   :-[
Well done for taking such fast action Sylvia.

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:
