It's a true saying,"you never miss the water, till the well runs dry".
Well done Thomas, good to be up and running again.

I am surprised how much I missed not getting connected over these long hours!

Great it is back and solid again.

'Bostin' as they say round these Black Country parts. :)

Thanks Bootsy,
The Mrs has been mopping my brow, if I'd gone much longer without DDK I think I would have died :shock: :lol:

Hi Bootsy,

Was it a DNS attack breaking the server? If it's of help I run the website for Nokia, so I can call on some techies to do us / you a favour if you'd like me to.

Let me know if you're interested

No, nothing to do with the DNS.

It was a corrupted database - the largest of the tables the forum runs which holds all of the 'post' data.

It crashed (seemed to be because of too many connections at one time)

Usually I can repair a crashed table using tools on the server but in this particular case it couldn't be repaired.

Therefore I had to retrieve the last backup of the table (which was about 20 hours before the crash) from the server and restore it, check everything etc.

Just took longer than I would have liked

Cheers for the offer.
