I hope you didn't miss us too much! So what happened? Well... actually, I have no idea. Somehow, all of the auto increment flags on the database tables vanished, reducing the website to a snivelling wreck. It doesn't appear that anyone was performing maintenance or that we were hacked because, as you can see, everything is still here. This could simply be one of those strange problems with no apparent cause. If anyone has a convincing theory about how it could have happened then I'd love to hear it because I'm out of ideas! As always, if you spot any problems then please don't hesitate to let someone from the Admin team know. Oh, and I'd be interested to hear how you would have fixed the problem? Answers on a postcard please... -------------------- QUOTE(benbramz @ Aug 17 2007, 07:44 AM) Ive noticed that quite a few people are now adding quotes from the board into their signature. I think its started an new web-radiance craze.. :P

Loose bits sink chips Group: Administrators Posts: 2,068 Joined: 4-April 06 From: Kent, UK Member No.: 2	Usually we have backups, but seeing as we just transferred to a new host, I haven't yet updated the backup script. And even if we did have a backup, a backup can only be taken so often and we could still have lost a few hours of activity on the website. Obviously, I didn't restore a backup. Any more ideas? -------------------- QUOTE(benbramz @ Aug 17 2007, 07:44 AM) Ive noticed that quite a few people are now adding quotes from the board into their signature.

W.R. Corporal Group: Members Posts: 117 Joined: 7-February 07 Member No.: 364	Glad to have back. I was on just before it was taken down for maintenance. I started a thread which understandably is not around. It was after posting that I noticed something wasn't right because although I could see that it did post I could not get in. The next thing I saw a little later was the maintenance notice. Anyways glad to be back .

There was an issue with inekes post not being assigned the id. I didn't realise the issue was database-wide at that time. -------------------- QUOTE (Sirkent @ Sep 21 2007, 09:26 AM) <monty python high-pitched female voice>I DON'T LIKE SPAM!</monty python high-pitched female voice>

Its all good though. no, the thread is still there, i just had to delete inekes post (as it didnt have an id) so it thinks the thread is old, and thus has dropped down a few pages. Just make a search for it. -------------------- QUOTE (Sirkent @ Sep 21 2007, 09:26 AM) <monty python high-pitched female voice>I DON'T LIKE SPAM!</monty python high-pitched female voice>
