Board down?

[strewart]

This morning when I tried to come here, I got an error message saying the board was down and to contact the admin, something about Q tables not adding up or similar. Well I didn't contact the admin, and this is now the second time it has happened. However, when I log on this afternoon with it working, it seems there are some posts missing. I distinctly remember 2-3 replies to the Oxyotl thread in the painting forum, but it now shows no replies. That is the only one I noticed, I am sure there are gaps elsewhere, I don't know if any of my posts have disappeared.

Just wondering, Sammy do you know what is going on?

Edit: Several posts from the naval battles thread gone too. I'm guessing a lot from last night (~ 15-20 hours from the time of this post) have been lost.

One of our database tables crashed. I couldn't repair them so had to restore from last night's backup (which is why we lost some posts)

I'm sorry for this, I'm going to have a chat with the host to see if there's anything I can do to reduce the chance of it happening again

Ah ok. I have only noticed it happening twice in the last 2-3 months, so it isn't very often. Oh well.

Hmm I didn't get any trouble today, but it definitely happened for 10 hours or so again a couple of days ago..

I will try updating the board software
