i have no idea, but all i know is this:

it takes 5 minutes to load a page
none of the avatars are showing up
threads are being discombobulated because of the slow loading time (things won't show up - and i'm on dsl - or things are getting mashed)
and it's really hard to not double/triple post.
there is, in the end, the letting go.

Had all avatars/nice piccies, but it was taking 5/10 mins to move from one forum to another... and I had a major argument with my son about him (not) using all our "internet space" on downloading stuff...

On the bright side, it seems pretty "fixed" now. :)

I don't think any of them exist. If you clear your temporary internet files and refresh, they vanish.

seems to be loading up faster but no avatars. Probably there needs to be some siggy clearing up and archiving some old posts on bus.

No, it's not fixed. No avatars at all now. *sigh* - but it is a tad faster...

i made a horrible mistake (it's complicated, but basically i didn't realize two things were linkde). i'll restore what i can from home, and if we have backups of the system we should be able to get almost all of them back.

i really suck. i'm incredibly sorry about this.

Thanks Deb, like Forget Me said, we can see the posts and can post so that is the most important thing. I hope we can get the avatars back though, because its a bit confusing telling who is who without them :o :roll:

Thanks for trying to sort this out :)

Hiya

Thanks for sorting it out. it's really weird!


Do we need to reselect our avatars in the Profile section or will they magically reappear?
