Temporary Downtime
Greetings,
You may have noticed that the forums went offline around 4:30 PM on Tuesday July 6th. The reason why is that one of the tables in the database was 'locked'. It was the ibf_sessions table that stores the username of those that are currently logged into the forums. I haven't heard back from my web host yet, so I created a second copy of the database, without the ibf_sessions table. I then re-created that one table from scratch. All of the other 87 tables were fine and did not need to be re-created, including member accounts, messages, topics, replies, etc. I'm waiting to hear back from my web host as to how the table 'locked' itself in the first place. Until then, and if it should happen again, please reply via e-mail and I'll reset the ibf_sessions table in the database to restore access. I apologize for the inconvenience, and will find out from my web host why this occurred in the first place.
