As the sites in maintenance mode it means that the admins are looking into the problem so should be back soon.. :)
Phew, I was about to run out and buy supplies for the coming fall of civilisation.
I typed my reply to the happy thought thread and hit post then, a Database error/ I thought "uh oh" but at least its being looked into
I was in the middle of writing the most enlightened and intelligent post when I got booted off. The world has lost what could have been the most insightful piece of waffle this century. Just in case it actually got posted then you may find that I may have just exaggerated a bit. :D

Hi Wayne, how did the meal go?
I got message stating that the server was being moved to a new one, try again in a few hours.
Me too, but I am sure there would have been a general announcement of the server was being moved had it been planned in advance.Quote:

Ah thanks for that foreverwar. I don't know, I take off for the evening and this is what happens.
Still it's nice to revisit the scene of all my bad reps and find that I have a nice cabbage green rep again. :)
was wonderful thank you :)Quote:

The move has finished, it may take time for some members to pick up the DNS change.
Did anyone think to warn the CableHell refugees what was happening to-night. Seeing their forum go down twice in 24 hours may be a tad disconoberating.
Yes, it was posted in the downtime thread this afternoon, it also links to here. :)
Just Paul having his daily fiddle with the servers.....
It shouldn't be down for any longer than the other night
is the move back going to effect the DNS entry, again?Quote:

I doubt if they will have seen the downtime thread as they were to concerned about what had happened. I was going to put a link on the CableHell thread but got distracted. :(
What's 'DNS entry' <dunce>
The direct IP wont really help, there is no site there atm ....
The DNS only takes a couple of hours, and has already been changed, you may even pick the change up before the site finishes moving.
the relationship between a site name and its IP address on the internet - each site has a 'record' on the DNS server being used, which may be local or external.Quote:
