The technicians have worked on the databases all night and I’m told have made progress. Unfortunately as of around 0430 gmt an error has popped up. This has all been fed back and is being dealt with. Sorry I know this is frustrating folks, but at the moment this is dealt with by the datacenter techs, and is out of my hands.
Update 24/10/2008 19:12: This is not getting beyond a joke and I’m sure a lot of you share my thoughts on this so I won’t dwell there too long.
The situation at present is that the databases keep corrupting themselves after the restore. The problem is being looked into by technicians at the datacenter.
At present the forums tables need a complete rebuild in sql, this includes the huge posts table and the one containing member’s details. The result of these problems is that presently some people can’t login and the forums give errors on and off.
I’m not happy, you’re not happy and we’re waiting on technicians to fix something that should have been fixed a week ago.
