I have heard a few reports that the forum had went down last night and that it has "ate" some replies. I'm here to address these issues.
There were a couple posts that I KNEW I posted and when I was asked about them, I could not find them. I figured it was just me being tired and I didn't submit them. It happens. But then Lee said that he did the same thing and the forum ate his reply as well. So I started digging.
I found a table in the database that had crashed so I repaired it and it's back up and running. But, this would cause issues, not the forum to go down.
After hearing about the forum going down, I checked my server uptime and it's only showing about 7.5 hours. I did some more checking and they had restarted my server after an update, so that is not a good measure of the issue. But, they have been making some changes to the server and it could affect the way the forum runs. I'm staying on top of it and to me, the forum has not went down. But, I'm not on here 24/7 anymore so I don't know when it goes down unless someone tells me.
If your computer can't connect to the forum, try it on yoru cell phone. Make sure you are on the network for your cell phone, and not your homes wifi. If you can't connect with either one, send me an email and I will look into it. Just remember, I can only work on it when I'm awake lol. My phone is on silent from 0800 to about 1830 so I will not get it during that time.

Put that email address in your contacts under Rc-Help.com. I may not return all emails, but I will read all of them. And if there is an issue that I can duplicate, I will do my best to correct it.
