Wow, almost a week without the forum was rough. Glad things are back to normal.

Known Issues:

1. A number of attached images has gone missing; so far identified in threads 5972, 5993, 6010, 6028 & 6029. The images are present in the file structure, so I can only presume this must be corruption caused when the database 'hit its head' on the ceiling. I will edit these back into the threads manually over the next few days.

2. The new forums link to the old UBB forum takes users to the main page, but searches come up empty. Bookmarks to those old pages still work. I believe that this is a settings issue associated with the server migration and it is in my repair queue.

Change in Attachment & Image Rules:

The new hosting plan gives more headroom for image files and other attachments. The maximum dimension is now 1280 x 1280 (was 800 x 1280).
Maximum attachment size is now a megabyte (was 200,000 for images). Please do not waste these resources, remembering that the upload for you will be longer and the download for everyone will be longer for bigger images, but please do use them when you need to show greater detail.

Please continue to report any additional issues you may encounter.

Since the server migration and restart of the forums, I am noticing a mild increase in error messages reporting failures to connect to the database.

If this happens to you, particularly when you are making a post, I suggest that you use your browser's 'back button' to go back to the previous page, wait a minute or so, and then try the post again.

Glad you have noticed Lee, it has happened to me again yesterday but as I see in the fault message that you receive emails everytime this happens which is good to know.
