    Friday night I experienced a problem with being able to access the site and this morning it looks like I have lost two days posts. Is this a strange problem that is only affecting me or is this some kind of a site malfunction ??

    Yes, I saw the same thing so it's not just you. I texted Nathan last night and he was working on it.

    I think M\A had a problem and Nathan was working on it late yesterday.

    Nathan will update us when he has time, but for now M\A is back. :Thumbsup:

    Rumor has it a screen shot of the MC2 Calendar brought the site crashing down....

    Pretty sure Nathan had to invoke the Waybak machine.

    Last night was shall we say....rather interesting.

    Yes, there are lost posts. I am sorry.

    A week or so ago I tried to install a new plugin for the site. It crashed the site. Was able to back it out rather quickly and no one really noticed. Helped that it was about 3AM Eastern when I played around with that.

    Reported to the issue to the folks that wrote the plugin. Unbeknownst to me they picked last night to decide to work on the issue. I only figured out it was them after scouring server logs to see who logged in.

    Repeated attempts to get hold of them last night were unsuccessful. There was no activity for quite some time from their end on the server so I decided to revoke their access and resort to a backup from earlier in the day.

    So yep, posts were lost and the site was down for a few hours.

    Sorry about that.

    Three Cheers for Nathan!!! :Thumbsup: :Thumbsup: :Thumbsup:

    I also notified him last night since I couldn't sleep and was wanting to read the days posts, and he was on it like white on rice.

    Thanks for keeping our addiction going Nathan.

    And to think, I missed all that! And then to think, I couldn't find the thread, because I (silly me) searched for Garry Cooper, who apparently has earned a well deserved alias...

    That right there is pretty funny. It also means I will never sign-off these boards; I simply cannot take the risk of a change to a more accurate and descriptive name....

    Geez, I lost two days' worth of my erudite, perfectly worded and always entertaining posts. :cryin:

    Probably no big loss though, since they all contained the phrase "death rattle." :D

    Some good came out of it....

    Garry Cooper, AKA, "I Am a Fool", got a new nickname.

    Staying in that vein, either Dick or I can take the name, "A Fool and His Money".

    I just don't have the heart to go back into the GP/Challenge car video thread, when it turned into another Death Rattle thread and make fun of Dave again, that post is now a pleasant, faded memory. But it is fairly obvious from all of that, that Dave should get a nickname too, and the only obvious choice is "Death-Rattle Dave".....Or "DRD" for short. He's "Super Dave Osborne's long lost cousin..
