Forum Issues
 

anyone else have trouble accessing the 'forum' section of this web site today??

yup

same, just got on

Sorry everybody.. As I wrote at the top of the page, our host (A Small Orange, Atlanta) had a hard drive crash overnight that affected several sites on the VPS we share. We were offline for about 12 hours (3am-3pm)... While posts seem unaffected, the damage affected registrations and those from the last 90 days appears lost. Anyone finding it difficult to log-in will need to re-register. I'm sorry for the inconvenience...

You guys got very unlucky... I'm still here and didn't have to re-register. :eek:

whos is this T3B character and what is his name doing here....I heard the guy is a real a$$hole. I say bring GPK back:D

LOL Kev! Pick a name already! :D

was just kidding Stevo...already talked to B and she will change me back tonight.

For you?? Okay....Jamie O'Bey has a nice ring to it:cool:

But, I lost over 500 posts on the counter :(
although the last post message is still there from yesterday
will we get back the number of posts in the right hand corner?

One marriage proposal this year was enough for me... I'll stick with my current last name. :eek:

no worries...you will never catch me anyways:p

You're in rare form... you crack me up! LOL :D

who said anything about marriage...I was just proposing a name change with all the "benefits" of marriage:o

Are there benefits of marriage (besides the obvious :p ?) If so, please enlighten me... I didn't have much luck with it. :o

My freaking identity was stolen on this site.

Mark,

Was just checking on those kinds of issues.. My guess is no.

(The only possible positive from this might be the recovery of the famed 'J'burg Star' thread...)

nope...just the once every 2 weeks sex is the only benefit of marraige that comes to mind.

Bless you Mr. Byk....was starting to slip into that T3B funk again...

Oh, I see you got lucky... I wasn't so fortunate.

Welcome back, GPK! LOL :D

um....how did you make that post at 5:08 when it is only 4:16 now??

Just saw that too.. Have to re-set the clock.. Basically, the system was restored to December 5th, 2006.

Magic, dawlin'... don't you know me by now? :cool:

GPK P.I.:cool:

huh, go away for the wknd, and the place falls apart!

glad to see it's back up and running....stuff happens.

With everything back to 12/12/06, too bad we couldn't re-bet all the races since then :p
just like that scene from Back to the Future II
when Biff got that sports almanac from Marty :D :D :D

had to re regis and lost my posts also. but i will survive.

User control panel is screwed up too...shows 7 total in messages, when there only 1 in there.

But, I was one of 28 members with over 1,000 posts, that's out of 1,100 active members...well, half that now. :D

I tried to re-register. Got an error message when i tried to use with my original screen name:

( There seems to have been a problem with the Derby Trail Forums database.
Please try again by clicking the Refresh button in your web browser.

An E-Mail has been dispatched to our Technical Staff, whom you can also contact if the problem persists. )

We apologise for any inconvenience.

-- so i had to re-register with a new screen name, etc.

just thought i'd let you know, in case others are having a problem.

does someone keep track of this?

are there frequent flier miles?

Was depressing having the site down. That's when you realize how much you appreciate talking horses every day.

Another question, if I may...why is the time 2 hours ahead from the east coast? It was that way before the "crash", will it change when we "spring forward next Sunday morning @ 2am? Not to be pain or anything.

Made a quiet Sunday until we got back on-line.

hey this is weird.

I have someone elses profile, avatar, etc.

there is a smartyzapper out there that just got his identity stolen.


sorry

PUHLEEEEZE....I had well over 5,000....and now I am back at 4400:eek:

Yeah I lost like 650 posts...But I gained a new perspective in life.

I guess it was all in the server, until the crash...

I lead a boring life...and I'm in the "dog house" with the old lady. :(

Ugh... I'm sorry. That's no fun at all.

Thanks :) ...just as long as she doesn't tell me to get any boxes at work tomorrow!

Black Sunday...put a line through them.....
