The server took a nosedive yesterday around 12pm, I've tried asking jv's hosting company but can't get much sense out of them. I think the server suffered a power failure, which lead to a few database tables becoming corrupt (private messages being one of them).I recovered as much as possible and have got things back on-line, but apologies for the downtime (not that its my fault! I wish I'd noticed it earlier though)
If you're wondering what I have to do with this, I've been helping with server administration and I'm one of a few with access to fix this.
Happy Forum'ing.
