if the new server keeps loading the ads with bikini clad lasses rather than Richard Wilkins' mugshots, I'm going to take it as an improvement.The only positive to come out of all this is that ASF is now on a newer server than it previously was which may improve page loading times and site speed generally. The old server was getting a bit long in the tooth..
Good afternoon all,
What a horrible day!
Firstly, let me apologise for that extended downtime.
Between 2am and 3am this morning the data centre that ASF is hosted at suffered a significant hardware failure that caused numerous servers to go offline, many of which suffered data corruption and as a result could not go back online.
Since that time the host has been transferring affected client file systems and databases to new servers. When those transfers are complete, the technical support team has been attempting to repair the data corruption on each server.
The ASF file system has just finished transferring to a new server and the databases have now been repaired. The only positive to come out of all this is that ASF is now on a newer server than it previously was which may improve page loading times and site speed generally. The old server was getting a bit long in the tooth.
These kind of incidents are web hosting black swan events and unfortunately cannot be predicted nor prevented.
I apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you all for your patience. If you have any questions, please ask them in this thread.
Please resume posting.
Yes.Page loading time do seem a little faster now. At least at my end. Is it just me or are others finding the site speed faster as well?

Definitely much faster, I had noticed that uploading attachments had slowed to the point of nearly being unusable in the last few days. (reporting season so its an active period for me.) No inconvenience caused for me, I just went out to the boat and tackled a few jobs that needed doing there instead!Good afternoon all,
What a horrible day!
