I was getting serious withdrawal symptoms.
Best wishes,

If you don't mind me respectfully asking...
What kind of server hardware and software specs?

Thanks for explaining that ... My bad luck I think to have been on a night shift, and I got some spare time, and actually posted 2 sets of photos on the' my photos' thread ... They were up there all fine for a while but after the crash had disappeared. Am I right to assume they're gone now, or would there be a backup you could use to restore them. Not a big deal if not, I'll upload again tonight.

Am I right in reading that you caused the crash Nigel?

Oh yeah, the software was so blown away with the sheer dazzling display of brilliance that it went into overload!

I'd upload your images again tonight if you can Nigel. I'm glad I kept a backup copy of the judging I did, as it happens it would have survived but to do it twice would be hard work!
Best regards, John

I too put a set of photos on at around 2am (my first) and was surprised to find no trace of them.

Those of you who tried to access the site today may have noticed that the site was not responding. We experienced about 10 hours of downtime due to a major software/hardware error on our database server.
When the server crashed at 4am this morning, our server admins were straight on the problem trying to resolve it and get it back online. Unfortunately, some crucial files were corrupted during the crash and we have had to revert to a backup from 2am this morning. Therefore, anything added to the site between 2am and 4am will not be online.
The server admins have since updated a few things on the server and have started putting plans in place to prevent this from happening again. We have also added an extra day to all plus members as an apology for the inconvenience and a thank for your patience.
