well thats 2008 off to a kicking start

keep it simple , basically had probs, tried to resolve , they got worse and so needed to do a complete rebuild

the probs been having had a knock on effect on this in many ways, throw in some other stuff to the mix and it ended up server was down for 2 days

on bright side server has had a overdue upgrade, clean up and all that sort of thing

current score

as just back up, may be a few things still need sorting hopefuly most major features should be ok

give us a few hours before start reporting things

main ones that know wont be working fully for 24 hours at least are site search and refosoul

apoligies for mess around, one of the benefits of last few days is that extremly unlikely will have to go down this road again

smiling mike

THANKS MIKE my life is again complete WHEY HEY luv Di xxxx

Well done Mike although I was starting to think what it would be like going to events and not knowing who was going, what sounds were going to be played etc etc - oh yes bit like b4 we had the net!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In all honesty I've missed ya Mike

Another reminder that we cannot take for granted all that goes into the upkeep of this site.

Thanks a million Mike

thanks for making the effort to keep us all sane.and that aint easy

only thing is work gone out of the window again

So glad you are back, Soul Source keeps me sane at work, sure I'm not the only one.

I work in IT so can appreciate all your hard work, no fun rebuilding servers, etc.

Lunch times at work have been sh-te not being able to get on here .

Whilst not being able to get onto this forum I spent my time trying to find other soul forums and managed 2, but both where no where near as good as this one, so a massive well done to you Mike.

Well thats a new one on me ????? hi to debbie luv Di xxx

"and now, i'm back, to let you know, i can really shake 'em on down"

"oh, do you love me"

YES WE DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad we are back on line. Was checking every few hours. Thanks Mike.

I was just begining to try and cope with the "detox" Mike over the 2 days or so.... clicks in my favorites getting less frantic,etc., with that "b*oll*cks" thought you get in your head when "it still ain't working" ....

Then you go and f*ck it all up and get it back online.... back to square one for the next time ....

Now I'm p*ss*d off that I found SS to be back more than 12 hours after it was.... due to visit to pub and then some sleep last nite cuz of nowt else to do ....

And then come across this thread about it more than 24 hours later after trying to catch up with it all ....

Seriously though.... glad it's back ....

A lesson in not taking things for granted.

I thought you had done a 'VIP Radio' vanishing act.

What I missed most was people selling records on the site for double what they're really worth
