Message Board Downtime

[Frank (Admin)]

Hi Guys,

As you are all probably aware this message board was down for approximately the last two days and as I was away from my pc there was nothing I could about.

It turns out the settings mysteriously changed on the directory the message board is stored in on my ISP's server and nobody was notified.  Lots of other sites were / are also affected so I'm not alone.  What happened was the access settings for the directory were changed and no one could access the board.

I'm sorry for the interruption in service, I've changed the settings back to what they should be, everything is now back to normal.


Regards,

Frank.

Hi Guys,

Nice to see it was missed (in a perverse kind of way)!

I don't think a virus was responsible, I have been told by someone in the know that sometimes these things can either happen out of the blue or someone somewhere can press the wrong key, nothing more, nothing less.

Anyway, normal service has been restored and if it happens again I'll know what to do and get service restored quicker.


Regards,

Frank.
