    Sorry for the outage. I tried to fix a problem yesterday evening that really wasn't impacting usage of the forum, the fix hung and then most forum functions were blocked out of the database until now. I stayed up to 3 AM working on it and our server admin started working on it at 7 AM.

    All is well now, although I need to work out some incompatibilities between some of our add-on software like the classified ads, live chat, blogs, quizzes, and the recent upgrade of the forum software. This might be the straw that causes us to convert FerrariAds.com into the forums so there will be a classified ad forum subscribed users can post new threads as ads. Other users will be able to ask questions as reply posts.

    Thanks for you patience,
    rob

    Glad you got it all worked out. I needed my morning (now afternoon) FChat fix!

    Isn't it fun when you try to make just a little change/update and then the whole thing snowballs... Thanks for your great work here!

    So glad I had 12+ hours of House recorded, and that I had paperwork with serial numbers on it to tide me over. Rob, why couldn't you work until 7AM when the server admin took over...? You left a four hour gap - not cool.

    LOL, just kidding. Thank you for all of your hard work. Glad we're back up. We really, absolutely must have an emergency site where we can go and congregate until FerrariChat is back in these situations. The only catch is - it absolutely cannot be on your server. :D

    Man, I thought I'd been having some long days... uh-uh. F-Chat down is like having no access to your home, if you can dig it.

    Thanks Rob, your efforts are much appreciated.

    Staying up until 3:00am to fix the issue is a sign of your dedication to this board, and you your fellow Fchatters!!!!!

    If only all people in the Us were as hard working and dedicated as Rob, our economy would not be in the consition it is in now.

    Thank again Rob,

    UZY

    Cyber highway was choked with refugees searching for safe haven.

    Several sites served as alternate fields I noticed. Most activity they've had all year.

    Thanks Rob!



    'Consistion' - What a great word!
