Technical difficulties

[MeghanOOD]

Hey Folks,
Our website was down, but we've rebooted and backed-up to the point now where everything should be as normal. Please let us know if this is not the case, so we can rectify the situation.

Thanks for your patience, and hope you're all doing well in these trying times.

I think all the posts between March 27th and today are still missing.

Yes they are missing.

Hey everyone,
We're aware of the black out period, hopefully our IT team can find a solution over the next couple days. In the meantime, we also hope you're all staying healthy and have a happy long weekend.
Thank you for your patience,
OOD.

It sounds like the database has a virus ...

Hello everyone,

We appreciate your patience since the website's crash last week. Our IT department has slowly been restoring the Forum, and is implementing additional security measures to ensure it doesn't go down again. We have been hosting larger activity on the site and have been target to more viruses than normal, so we are adjusting accordingly. If anyone has further questions or concerns, please feel free to Inbox me on the Forum, or through my work e-mail: [email protected]

As I mentioned to MikePal in another thread, I am an administrative liaison to our IT department, and I want to ensure your concerns are heard and addressed. Thank you again for your patience, and thank you again to our Moderators and their tireless efforts.

Meghan OOD.

Can you pass on our collective thanks to the IT crew for all their efforts to keep the forum running. It's greatly apprecited.

Good Morning, Forum community!

How is everyone doing?

We have had headway in keeping out the negative forces that caused our site and Forum to corrupt. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like we'll be able to get back the missing posts, as they were lost in the reboot. We understand that this is frustrating, and appreciate your patience. Should any more posts go missing moving forward (which they shouldn't!), we're asking that you be hyper-vigilant, and let us know so that we can continue making sure the Forum runs smoothly.

Thank you everyone.
Take care of yourselves,
Meghan OOD.

In these grumpy times, patience runs thin, but deep down we appreciate your efforts to give us something to read and ponder. Cheers.
