Website Outage January 18/19 2023
« on: January 19, 2023, 10:23:10 pm »
We are very sorry for the outage between the 18th and 19th.

We had scheduled maintenance from our hosting provider as well as they had scheduled maintenance on their side. The main issue occurred when our server rebooted. It was trying to mount a phantom external drive that we had previously deleted. We hadn't anticipated this. We eventually were able to log back in into the safe mode and mount the main drive. Then we removed the phantom drive from the fstab that was hanging everything up and rebooted. Shout out to Michael, Matt, Trip and everyone else for alerting us to the initial outage. Thanks as well to a few including Mike for some additional help restoring things properly (and all the others that offered help too - Michael, Matt, and Soera included)!

Thanks to everyone for their continued support and patience!

I registered at this site after my first collection-site went down, so I'm really happy that I'm not forced to enter my 700+ items again on just another site.  :)
