    Hi all,

    Sorry for the downtime. I upgraded the server operating system yesterday but it completely borked the database installation. Cue multiples hours of head-bashing and questioning why I decided to upgrade of a Sunday evening.

    We may have lost a few posts from yesterday since I last backed up the database so apologies if you lost anything.

    There may be bugs so be vigilant. If you see any please let me know :stew1:

    I was having severe withdrawal symptoms. My husband asked me what was new on the Stew, and I nearly cried!
    So glad you're back, we're back, and the database backup is back!
    Back to normal:)!

    No worries, but what a surprise, Frank. Yeah, the timing...how many times haven’t I done software and firmware updates on a weekend. I always feel a right nutter innit. I just never think about the timing anymore. I can plead “Pensionado’s privilege” all I want, but I still sit with “baked pears”, as we say.—problem that I still have to sort on my own. Why do I keep challenging Murphy?

    Well Frank, we are back now as if nothing at all happened. Thanks for the explanation. Maybe I will use your explanation as a reminder the next time I want to do something technical of a weekend.

    Sorry about that, hope there wasn't anything too important that was lost.

    At first I thought I had a problem because I had some problem getting my MS Office started. Really happy to be able to get in now, thanks Frank for keeping us in the loop :)
