*whew*

Now that was kinda painful. Let me update everyone.

On saturday, ehostpros.com, our webhost, had a hard drive mechanically fail on them which just happened to be on the server our site was hosted on. Unfortunately, the backup hard drive was taken out also. Now, why they don't have a tape backup solution is anybody's guess. You'd think being a webhost they would have all kinds of backup solutions in place.

I, however, made a backup of our site (back in April :oops: ) and as you can see successfully got it back up and running. You'll notice that we lost some things... only about 2 months of meaningless chat and pictures. So after some scrambling and reinstalling of mods, we have our site again.

Everything should be comepletely functional again. If you find any problems please email me so that I can get it fixed right away.

Hmmm.... I think we did have something about the next gaming day in there. I found it kind of amusing that my new since last login list showed us talking about gaming back in May.

a couple of things:

1. Do not use the search feature in the Gallery. It's broken, I'm working on it.

2. I'm also working on a 'slideshow' feature that was in the gallery section before. I implemented a new mod for the gallery which broke the old slideshow.

That is all for now.

Gallery search feature is fixed, except for the wierd broken link to the left of the results. Other than that it works now. Enjoy.

Did everyone else's email break too? I know mine doesn't want to let me log in. Dante - Do we just need to email you the info for the accounts again?

Ross, I re-setup yours, your current password is ghost, you should be able to login and change it to whatever you want. Lemme know if it doesn't work. Anyone else that needs it set back up, lemme know, I'll see what I can do.
