Apologies for the downtime for the past 16 hours or so, the "Post" Table in the Forum database crashed out and had major corruption!


So spend most of the night trying to repair the post table several times each time we tried running the the repair it brought the server to a standstill and took down the server a few times making it unresponsive to ping and http plus running the repair managed to fill up the /tmp partition and took down mysql (the service that the forums runs on). So spent most the night trying to sort that out – alas it did not work, so we had to restore the forum from last night backups so its likely that you probably have lost around 12 hrs of posts or something.



Those who don't understand the technical stuff the bottom line is that the "Forum database Post table got corrupted"



Apologies!
