Hi Everyone,
Just letting you know that during a server migration the old server had a hardware failure, without going into details it caused loss of data and the loss nightly backups and the forum to go offline for a few days.
Art Forum is now back online, however some recent posts and members may no longer exist! sorry guys - technology.
Many of you will also have to upload new avatars - so we will all have a fresh new look I guess, again very sorry for the inconvenience.
Kind Regards,
Brad Buchel |

Hi Brad - thanks for your efforts. I've got a rough idea what's involved keeping something like this going... and I'm glad it's not me!!
Cheers

Well done Brad
Computers will never rule the world, but will cause a lot of us to go completely insane

Many members of this forum also post on Australian Art Forum. As soon as I found out from Brad what had happened, I did attempt to post there, to let people know what was going on. But...

I would seem that my reputation for spamming, trolling, flaming and otherwise causing trouble has preceded me. Guess I'll have to stay here.

Wow - that's weird... the avatars work perfectly on my home Mac, but don't here at the studio.

| I have been sitting naked trying to post, but had the manager at the office reprimand me so I will revert to being clothed when I post. |

- It would seem the avatar problem is sorted, BUT you will probably need to upload your avatar again, as the avatar database has gone FUBAR.
Cheers
