Don't thank me cos I broke it in the first place :(

Because the posts table in the database is so big it is very difficult to rebuild it over the net, a local fix would have been much easier.

I've rebuilt it 3 times tonight and the first two attempts ended up with server crashes. Third time lucky it worked but reported a fair few errors, so some stuff might be a little bit strange. If you find something that doesn't look right then hit the report button and I'll look into it.

Cheers
Colin

Sort of I've been suffering punishment via mass email spam, everytime that someone checked the forum I got an email. I much have deleted over 50,000 emails in the last two days.

Well at least you know now just how popular you are.

Just shows you how popular it is.

I should probably appologise for about 250 of those (there is the red faced smiley when you need it).

Nice one Colin, I'm responsible for at least 20% of your e-mails and also for a lot of the site going up and down as I tried to fix tables etc.

Could we contribute to this?

A PayPal donation from all on the Org would be a matter of pennies.

Is that the Royal "we" or the community spirited "we"?

Or should we petition the WADF. After all the forums here are a sport are they not? ;)
