The recent site down time was caused by an update applied to the physical servers our site runs on top off by the hosting company.This update was to tackle the recent Meltdown & Spectre vulnerabilities that where discovered.

Please see this site if you are interested in more details of the above vulnerabilities https://blog.barkly.com/meltdown-spectre-bugs-explained.

We where unlucky, as the patch was applied and the systems restarted whilst our backup was running, This corrupted several key areas of our site, Including the Backup, File system and Database.

I'm currently working on fully recovering the site, So far I've copied a work in progress layout from my test server along with recovering all the Forum content itself.

At this point the missing data is from the social side of the site, this includes your Profile Pictures, Private Messages, Friends Lists and Photo Albums.

The above items i'm working on but can't currently give an estimate on when they will be reinstated. In the mean time feel free to upload new avatars etc.. should you wish

Simon

And i thought my PC or Internet was playing up again. Glad it's back up and running

Soooo glad its back, this site is much better than the F***book groups

great to see it back on, thank you for all the work you have put into this

Can I just add my thanks to you Simon and all the other guys that help keep the Bar running .

Cheers , John

good job so far Simon,will you be able to get the Library and Downloads section back

Mike

Downloads are working for me, Under Community as before

Library - Missing right hand side menu currently but all the EPC content has been recovered

The avatars that are working seem much clearer and the whole layout seems cleaner.

I managed to login to site, but I see that Action buttons are not working - under posts and under thread. Only Quick reply button is working for me. I am using tablet with Android OS v5 and Firefox browser.

I also cannot edit last post (suppose Action button should do that) and Remember me at login page also does not work.

Those seems to be general issues at the moment.
