We experienced a system problem that caused abherrant beheaviour where files were getting deleted arbitrarily. I have been at it all day since learning of it this morning. The good news is that the problem has been resolved and the system and the deleted files successfully restored.

For those who need to know more, the problem was as a result of a drive running out of space due to the new hourly and daily backup regimen I've had in place following the last hacker incident, and, the system began acting unpredictably once this event occured. I now have now acquired & installed a bigger storage unit to enable the backup schedule to continue running as before. Thus, I do not anticipate any other related problem.

I believe I've restored all the deleted forum data. However, if anyone discovers any post that they absolutely need, then, let me know and I'll hunt for it and try to bring it back online.

Sorry for the downtime of several hours, but the problem is behind us now ... so, post away!

Cheers,
...Alex

Janet, Maryann - you're too kind ... but I'll take it and use it to exorcise the demons in the hardware/firmware/software.
Catherine, Mary, Andrew, Dee & Rose - much appreciated & thank you as well!

Cheers,
