Having a lot of problems this end Matt. Taken me an hour to get this far! Sites crashed on me three times! Appreciate the effort you're putting in though.                                                                                                                                                                              

Well here in sunny (well okay, heaving down, blowing a gail) Hull-y its all working well, and loading quickly too, so I dunno but I'm a happy squirrel tonight !                                                                                                                                                                              

Seems ok for now.                                                                                                                                                                             

Hey everyone touch wood!   I don't know if they've fixed it or not, they've not sent me an update, but I'll find out.                                                                                                                                                                             

Still running good, they must have fixed it overnight.   Still not heard back from them yet though

hey matt got some news that may help the site . maybe this site needs a 250,000 member service , injectors cleaned , new brake fluid -pads - and tyres , oil and fuel filters an cleaning + polishing etc .                                                                                                                                                                              

hey Dave DD,wasnt me after all.....its getting slower again....should i pay some more money???...does it run on a meter,ha ha ha                                                                                                                                                                             

haha - the issue still hasn't been fixed.   To be honest I don't know how long it will take them to fix.  I know from experience in my profession that when you have a corrupt array... you gotta wipe the whole lot and say bye-bye.   Basically - the server needs to be wiped clean and rebuilt.  That means a lot of backups to restore, reconfigurations etc.  They're trying to fix it before taking such drastic action I think. I've started making my own backups of all our data quickly just in case something goes wrong.                                                                                                                                                                             

my answer is a good bike mec can fix anything so go to you local bike mec matt your get it done quicker and a good job                                                                                                                                                                              

well mine cant - i just got robbed.  Asked for a full service, clearly stating i wanted EVERYTHING doing.  The guy spoke bad english tho.  He say 18k miles, thought it was km, and just did a rubbish minor service... and charged me loads for it!  I wanted my shims checking and everything. arrrrggghhh                                                                                                                                                                             

Update: The site has been stable(ish) all day, with only a few seconds here-and-there when it ran a little slow.  Other than that it's been fine.   However - the issue isn't fixed!  To fix the serious corruption, a full rebuild of the server will take place this weekend.  To save further corruption of data, or complete data loss, I will be taking the site completely DOWN during the work.   A time is yet to be announced, but an email will be sent out well in advance.  During the downtime, all members will simply receive a message saying that the site is temporarily down.   Many thanks everyone for your cooperation.                                                                                                                                                                             

omg Matt will the email have a prescription attached for those that will be suffering withdrawal symptoms during this time.   All this sounds as if I will have to find other things to do over the week end like housework or painting.                                                                                                                                                                             

  23.59 chat room froze then the site froze.  I got back on shortly after but it froze again and I couldn't access anything.   Logged in a few minutes ago and it was quick then I clicked on this topic and it took a while to load.                                                                                                                                                                               

Chatroom will be affected more than any other part of the site at the moment, sorry.
