Server Problems -- July 29, 2009 -- READ THIS!

**TGO David** · 07-29-2009, 04:34 PM

Despite the fact that I am on vacation this week...

Our server has suffered from a bad update of the web server component, which has caused the site to be extremely unstable for the past few two days. The software author is aware of this and says that they are working on a fix.

Rolling back to a previous version of the web server does not seem to be fixing the problem.

Unfortunately a casualty of this problem is that any new posts or new member registrations since 2:00am CST, Wednesday, July 29th have been lost. New members will need to sign back up. Posts will need to be created again.

Thankfully we do backups. Unfortunately we do not do them around the clock, and there is no practical way for that to happen regardless.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Maybe I'll get to resume vacationing with my family once we get this nonsense straightened out.
