Still not sure what happened but unfortunately the whole forum went down the tubes last night!
I couldn't find anything wrong with the board earlier as regards the slow posting problem that was mentioned but it was definitely slow so I asked our hosting company to have a look. They did some things but it didn't make any difference.
I was out at night and when I came back in the board was gone! Not just the database but also most of the files! What was left was corrupted. Even the cpanel was corrupted so I couldn't even access the tools we use to administer our little bit of the world wide web!
I asked the hosting company to look again and they 'fixed' it which was a case of restoring from the daily backup. So I'm afraid all posts from yesterday are gone and that will include PM's.
This might not all be over as I'm still getting errors in the error log, but the hosting company are looking at the problem so hopefully things will be sorted fairly soon. Oh. and we still have the slow posting problem - whether its all related I don't know TBH.
