Many members will have noticed that earlier today the forum reverted to an earlier backup. This was not done by forum admin but by the webhost and their explanation for this is attached. Hopefully this disruption to the forum did not interfere too much with members' use of the forum, although losing posts is of course always a blow. To be fair to the webhost the forum is 8 months old now and we have not previously experienced any issue of this kind.

Quote:We performed a MySQL upgrade from 5.0 to 5.1. The reason you are seeing the database roll back 5 hours or so is due to the database having some key corruption. When that happened we rolled the database back to the nearest working version we had to ensure that your site would be online and function without issue. Please reply back should you require further assistance.
