Meanwhile Equilism, we have been having some problems with our forum the past week. Not that anyone noticed since it's not used....which is fine of course as it will likely being going away in a few months. I don't yet know if the problem is fully resolved. Our database suddenly started rapidly expanding and contracting between 150Kb and 13Gb. Yeah, that's weird. Our hosting account only allows half that max out.

The forum was also overdue for an update. So naturally in implementing the update, the forum failed completely. The automated updates that have worked for years failed this time and screwed all the files and threw nothing but errors. IPB suggested using the 'Support Tool' which of course also failed with errors. So I had to perform a complete manual rebuild of the forum....twice....before it was back up and running.

I had a long night last night. *chuckles*

Everything appears to be running smoothly now, but the size-changing database is still of unknown cause and unknown resolve, with it currently sitting at 1.5Gb. Westwind is monitoring.
