    Sorry about the downtime this week. I ran into a major database problem after restarting the DB server on Tuesday, and it took the talents of an outside consultant to get everything cobbled back together.

    You may see that things act weird. Please report them in this thread. Some of the things might be because I currently have all of our add-ons turned off while trying to reconstruct some parts of the DB that didn't quite convert properly. Some might be actual problems that I need to investigate and fix.

    Either way, please report them in this thread.

    Thanks for hanging with me this week. It's been several years since something like this has happened, but as the long-time PC members can testify to, we pick up the pieces and move on.

    Thanks again,

    Danny

    Walking out of my office right now into the house where Nichole has a tall Sam Adams Winter Ale waiting on me.

    I reserve my liquor nights for when I'm with you wackos.

    Thank God this week is over.

    According to the brief report on Facebook, an "upgrade" went wrong.
    Looks like it is all better now.

    I see a neat new feature in the post above - the long quote from Danny fades out part way down, which avoids cluttering up the new post, but you can click on the end of the quote to view the rest of it.

    Its not hard to imagine a bunch of drunks half passed out at bars - cleaner and better smelling than your usual drunks

    Hey Danny...just so you know.

    When you click on a member, then on "postings", there is a gap not showing anything between June and the current reset...however in does show in "Recent Activity".

    If you want my opinion, too many bells & whistles.
