Website problems

Some of you may have noticed that we had some downtime yesterday, followed by some problems with posting messages on the forums.

As far as I understand it, we had hardware failure on the server, this took a while to repair, after which a problem with the database appeared. Unfortunatly with the usual bad timing of these things yesterday I was in transit to London and then in meetings, While I noticed the website down and informed the tech guys, I didnt see the posting problem once it was back up.

One of the moderators informed me of the posting problem(as did quite a few of you by e-mail) but it took quite a while to get in contact again with our tech guys due to the time difference.

Apologies for the problems, and hopefully it is all fixed now.
