GFXartist DowntimeYou have undoubtfully noticed that GFXartist went *poof* yesterday afternoon GMT. GFXartist hasn't been running the same since we upgraded our database server somewhere at the end of 2004. Yesterday all hell broke loose when the server decided to give the whole thing up. Fortunately we were able to backup the database before we had the whole machine reinstalled again, which means that we've kept the lost data to a minimum. Of course there will be votes and comments and other content missing that were posted in the last hour or so before the crash. Many people have contacted us to motivate us a bit. Others were worried we had been hacked (which is thankfully not the case). We'll monitor the site closely today to make sure everything works as it should. With a little luck the site also got back some of the speed it had before, but that remains to be seen. Our apologies for the inconvenience and happy browsing! |

Lol! No problem! ^_^ It's not something you can control- a glitch is a glitch. Congrats on getting things back up so quickly.

If I check my list, I suddenly have 51 online buddies, which suprisingly, is the exact number of people on the site.
Bug?

Uploading images seems to work fine though. I've just tested it myself.
