The PF database hard drive is failing and is scheduled for replacement on Thursday at 11 PM CDT, resulting in some downtime. Users are encouraged to switch to a SCSI drive during this period. Greg, who managed the repair, returned just in time to oversee the maintenance, ensuring minimal disruption despite concerns about the site's stability. Some posts were lost during the transition, causing disappointment among users, but the site is now operational on the new hard drive. The community expressed gratitude for Greg's efforts in maintaining the forum's functionality.

Library autolinking isn't working :redface:

is the server still overworked?

Yeah I disabled it when turning the system back on to ease it back in :) I'll enable it later today.

Wow! I'm in shock. :eek: I just got back into town a few hours ago...I should have stayed at the beach watching the competition there. Drama and all. LOL! There is ...is...well, I have something to look forward to the pictures from another topic.

Also, I noticed on Google I only have one listing when before I had tons. What the heck would cause that? Ah well, some are on altavista. Gee whiz, I had a oodle of people who followed me on Google. I had over 20 pages there now only one little blurp.:frown:

This is like the show SURVIVOR. Thank goodness I passed that show up. ROTFL.! You kept us alive here Greg. (Thumbs Up!:wink:) One thing super nice about this place I always leave laughing. LOL! I'm sorry, I just can't stop laughing! I got to go.

I don't know what I would do without Physics Forums. Thanks Greg for the long hours rebuilding the HD. And you too chroot. And also the mentors who were sweating the loss of the many years of service.
