What was the problem?

Database corruption was the cause, had to stitch together a couple of backups, then ran out of disk space.

Then forgot to set a couple of things!

Dan, thanks!  Forget the request for new membership in the name of Patricia!  I thought the problem lay with my tablet.  So glad it's all sorted.  Hi everyone, I've missed you! ☺

Thank you Dan, for all your efforts.  Like others, to begin with I thought it was a problem with our computer. It was frustrating finding I had no means of getting on to A4A.   Thought I'd be shut out for ever, until I found one email address of a member, from submitting photos for the competition (time for another one?).  I guess Dan began to receive lots of emails reporting the problem!
Keep safe and healthy everyone.

Not been in for a while so I was unaware of the problem. But thanks so much for fixing it, we do appreciate this space.

Great to be back.
Must be a backlog of harvest photos and gripes to be trodden. I still miss reports from the 'Sunshine coast'

Yes, if anyone knows Johnny (or he's reading this), come back!

Dan, a suggestion for you, but I think an important one.  Part of A4A not working was a message telling us to come back another time, and if the problem persists, contact an administrator.  Which sounds ok, until you realise that we do not have a way of doing that.  Please can you modify that message to say whom and how we should contact an administrator.  Is it just you or are there other administrators?  I think we need a way of contacting you or any other admins.  A4A was really missed while down.  :wave:

yes, Galina, that wa exactly the problem, and of course none of us knew whether it was just at our end, of A4A

The admins were in the same situation I'm afraid.
