We are back!
« on: May 20, 2006, 03:57:14 PM »
Hi All,

Many of you will have noticed that the forums have been unavailable for the last few days.

I wasn't even able to get in to try and fix it. So I liaised with John (Ostraco) to get the account reset with the web hosts.

Upon finally getting in now I find that a whole bunch of the boards system files have been modified and truncated, hence the 'Unexpected $' message you would of seen ($ in this case being the end-of-file character)

I've replaced the immediately obvious files from a backup (phew!) but there may be  parts of the forum that still do not work correctly. If you spot anything please let me know and I will get it fixed.

Thanks to John (Ostraco) for his help and to Barny, John (Page) and Leen for e-mailing me and letting me know.

Cheers,

Paul
