I don't think it's ever been down this long before, has it?

:(

I don't think so. And I haven't gotten any response to the ticket, despite repeated follow-ups. Unfortunately, I'll be out of touch most of this weekend (family commitments) but hopefully we can get up eventually, get a backup done, and then work on moving. This certainly is not acceptable.

ETA: I did notice that it was up briefly yesterday evening, but it was back down before I had a chance to do anything.

How old is the last backup you or someone else has? Perhaps it's time to work on uploading that to a new host site? (I really have no idea how complicated that is, or if that's more trouble than it's worth. For that matter, I'm not sure I even know how to do a backup of a site and have that accessible. I hope Jude and/or Al take care of that. :help: )

Nope. My specialty is dealing with (non-existent) drama. :P

It's back up (for the moment), but I can't do a backup because I need the username as well as the password for the cpanel. I've emailed Voronwë.

You can do a database backup from the admin panel while you're waiting. That may save some time...

What page is it on?

Nerver mind, I found it and tried to start it. I can't tell whether it's working. Nothing seems to be downloading, but there's a load bar at the top of the page that doesn't seem to be moving.

It's not over yet. I've downloaded the database of the board settings, and our custom design, but I can't make a copy of the board itself, all our posts, until I can get into the cPanel. With what we have, we could set up a board just like the one we have . . . but with no posts.

I'm hoping that I'll hear from Voronwë this evening, if not before. I'll be watching for an email and will start the backup just as soon as I can. Or he may start one first.

I'd be willing to commit to doing a backup regularly, once a month or more often. It doesn't take much time to initiate one. I've got very fast Internet, and my computer automatically backs up both to an external drive and to the cloud.

Cheer up - if you did a full database backup, you've got all the posts as well as the board settings. So even if the site were to suddenly go down and never come back up, we could at least carry on from earlier today, although we'd all have to re-upload our avatars.

Wow. The compressed file is only 103 MB.

So I wonder what I need to get into the cPanel to do? :scratch:

I;m poking around looking for the avatars and photos and will get those when I find them.

Looks like it is back down again this morning. We did get to do a full backup yesterday from the cpanel, and both Prim and downloaded the file.

Any luck in choosing a new host? Was the link I posted any use?

I haven't even been able to think about that, or talk to Prim about it. I have family visiting this weekend, so my time online or for anything else is very limited.

I'll take a look at that link tomorrow, hopefully.
