I've had an absolute shocker today.

One little edit broke the entire front page. In effect deleted it all.

Tried to restore it, in restoring a backup it exceeded our storage space and broke the whole thing.

Give up, now continuing to rebuild it. Took all day and only about 30% of the way there.

Is that why I cant post a photo anywhere

No not working, it was last night?

Isn't downtime but the site is being very weird visually for me the past like hour. When you click to mark threads as read the thread titles will jump around a bit, it's like shaking sometimes when you click between pages etc.

Maybe just my eyes...

(Desktop Chrome btw)

It seems like this site freezes around 2.05am for 10 to 15 minutes each night as does toffeeweb.even on different devices.i always wondered is there a reason for that?

Maybe scheduled server backups or something?

Will hopefully reduce the time soon - trying to find a developer who can shift our storage away from our server to something called R2 with Cloudflare which will mean less size to backup.

Will need to turn the forum off for a bit at some point today I think while server stuff is done

At least give us a 10 minute warning so we can plan to go do some work.

I cant sadly mate - it's a developer doing it and years back I got a good telling off when I told people on here exactly when the forum would be down as it was a security vulnerability.
