Hi guys,

As you will probably have noticed, the forum has been off-line for the last 24 hours or so. This was due to an error in the database of our hoster regarding the renewal of the nzff.org domain.

The error was identified yesterday evening fixed early this afternoon, and we're back in business. Thanks for your patience. smile.gif

Bit of a pickle to be in unfortunately. I only became aware of the problem when I got home from work last night (just about 6pm). I sent emails off to Robin and Andrew (who had already picked up on the problem), and then the moderators.

If the problem was not going to be solved today, I was planning to fire off an email to the 100 most active members. That would have taken roughly 30-45 minutes (guesstimate). The main issue being that I'd have to go through and manually retrieve the email addresses from the MySQL database, then go through and copy them into my [personal] webmail client (NZFF emails were down). Doing that process for all of our members would have been most impractical, because it would have taken aaaggeeees.

But, water under the bridge. We're running again. smile.gif
