Earlier today the rack in which the dMw servers (Web/Forum/Teamspeak/Ventrillo/BF2/CS) are housed had a power failure. For reasons as yet unknown the UPS did not protect the servers once the power failed. All servers are now back running.

However, it would appear that at least some of todays forum posts were corrupted by the unexpected power outage. Consequently, if you made a post today and you can't find it now you are not going mad. If you posted anything important today or sent any important PMs then please check that they are OK otherwise you should repost/resend.

dMw would like to apologise for this outage and we promise to put 50p in the meter in good time in future ;)

No problems but checking the "View new replies"section gave me an error several times if I was checking the right link.
