Okay faithful users...we're attempting to restore an older backup of the database...news will be posted once we're back!
What has happened??

They said they're going to clear everything. And rollback to 2008 jan.
Jk, no. It's just some security updates.

Thanks for the quick response.
I was just worried that we'd lose a week's worth of posts or something.

So, I see that rollhack hasn't changed?

No rollback happened, or so it seems...

When I read the title I thought they found some old backup tape and tried to restore some photos of the pre-rootworm era.
Oh well ...
