On the 19th of June, the server hosting Arsenal-Land.co.uk had a catastrophic failure and died a fast and (hopefully) painful death.

I have spent the last two days restoring the server and the site from backup - there will be some loss of data for the last day of the server's life.

I humbly apologise for the time taken to restore the site and hope that you can all let me know if there are any problem with the site.

I am aware of a couple of minor bugs which I will be addressing, but let me know if you find any.

Thanks
Toby

Thanks Toby. :thumbup:

The restore appears to have thrown up another glitch, by restoring some banned members. This will be easy for you to spot as those that were banned seem to have their names highligthed in green, which I'm sure is a built in warning to notify us when a banned member has been mistakenly restored. Just go ahead and delete them again.

Thanks again Toby :thumbup:

Hi Albo,

That is an interesting issue... I can't see a reason for that to happen - I'll look into it!

You can tell I'm still busy as that did pass me by to start with! I've had about 30 sites fail and a few less than thrilled clients, not been a good two days! Complicated by people being on holiday etc - it's been a slow process!

Thanks Toby! :thumbup:

Talking about glitches, I seem to have lost my admin status - is there any way to restore it without too much hassle? Thanks again!



(This is my attempt at being hilarious, by the way.)

Hmm.. I appear to have turned into a Man Utd fan?

Is this resolvable?
