Topic: Logging in

[Clive]

Owing to a problem with our hosts it has been impossible to log in to the forum since yesterday lunchtime.  The issue now appears to have been resolved but please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.

I thought you said it was all Simon's fault. 

And thanks to everyone for letting me know. 

Your not the only UK forum that had problems yesterday, I received this during the night,

I am sorry to have to inform you all , that there has been an ongoing databse error in vBulletin which has gradually got worse.. To this end we have had to revert to the last good backup which is dated 13th April and we have setup at a different URL & server.

... we didnt have quite so drastic problems, I dont think... and our last good backup was last night :-D - ep I'm paranoid! :-D

Still unsure what the actual issue was. We might get this again I guess....

[Simon]

We've had no word from our hosts as to what the cause of the problems was, but hopefully they've fixed it.

I thought it was Firefox playing up again.  I have my username and password saved, but it kept telling me to enter a username!  Glad everything's OK now.

Once again, many apologies for lack if access to the forum last night.  This was due to our hosts Webfusion (Pipex) letting us down.

The forum has been refusing to let me post this afternoon. I didn't know you'd installed a good taste filter.

[Clive]

Yes, to comply with the trade description act, we have now changed our name to Parttime-Pals - the morning forum.

Good morning Clive 

[sam]

and so it works again...

[Simon]

If it goes down again today, there'll be trouble.   

[Clive]

Good morning Clive 

I will be more impressed if you manage to say "good evening" Terry.

It's nice to be able to join the party. Btw, wouldn't logging in be a forum software or a database issue?

[sam]

its a database problem... on our hosts machine.
