 Forum outage |
|
Jan 01, 2010 - 7:21 PM - by Administrator

Recently you may have not been able to get to the website. Once I was notified about it I contacted our host who informed me that the database had been corupted and needed to be updated from the back up from last Sunday.
This was done but the site still did not come up. After notifying them it was not working they looked at it again and noticed a setting that was blocking it. They made the change to the setting and it is now working.
I wished they had looked there first. This was not done by hackers but they had made changes on the server for all sites and it took us down by accident.
We should not have any other issues, I hope.
I have requested that they upgrade us to the latest version to help prevent any further outages.
