    Talking And We're Back!

    Phew!!!!

    That took a lot longer than I thought!

    In a nutshell, when I went to backup up all the data for the transfer to the new host the server which used to host GDU completely died and it took over 24 hours to secure a backup of our database which was in good enough condition to use!

    It's not prefect though. We have restored over 200,000 posts which is great news although some of the posts have duplicated entries and some of the post have obscure characters where there should be text.

    Still, it's now searchable and we'll endeavour to do some house keeping in the weeks to come to tidy up the dupes and strange characters. This will include the addition of smilies and what not as we're working with the standard Vbulletin offering for a little while.

    Thanks for your patience guys. The new host should bring with it much better stability so this should be the last time in a very long time that we have problems such as this.

    All the best

    Regards

    Mark
