    So was the board down pretty much all day today or was it just me?

    Server errors the past couple days, which resulted in a database error today. Database has been fixed, but I can't promise that the server issues are over yet.

    Well, I'm just glad it wasn't only me. :twisted:

    So, it's probably something very technical but, what kind of errors are these? And as Chris is asking, is it likely to change servers?

    Must've been all those sock accounts I created to feed the n00b beast.

    I need a few boardies (5 to 10 ideally) who could help me test some stuff out soon. Please PM me if you're interested.

    EDIT: Looks like I'm all set on help. Thanks!

    Does anyone have any experience working in a Linux server environment? I need some help in getting something set up.

    Sorry about that downtime folks. I borked something, but I was able to mostly fix it. :oops:

    Ah James, sincere thanks for the efforts.

    And an extra pint and tip of the hate for you for adding a delightful new word into my lexicon. (I have yet to unbork anything in my life, but I am glad to know it is in the very least conceptually possible.)

    Yip. As I said, I continually just move from bork to bork.

    James, I have borked a few times myself. I bet you felt a little like this:

    Hey James, in that process, did it change the way we get email notifications? It's showing up a bit different, or was that your fix? If so... carry on.

    Not an important fix, just curious. You do enough for these boards, that could totally wait :D

    I think most everything is back to normal. Please let me know if you see anything that's acting different than it used to.

    Hey! I just noticed the "magic toy button" is missing (the one that you press and the Genie magically makes it appear on your desk) ! Did you by chance Bork that out by mistake (love that word!) :oops: :) ;)
    Thank you for all of your hard work so that we nerds can have fun! :razz: :razz: :razz:

    It's still there, just a little harder to find. :)

    Big things on the horizon, hopefully with less borking in the interim.

    Testing hasn't happened yet! I still have my list of testers (you included), and I'm hoping to have stuff to check out by this weekend. :D
