I too am glad the Forums are back on line. I realize that I've come to depend on the steady availability of the Forums so that when they are down I really miss it. But, the outage makes me consider what a great resource we have. Thanks again Fender!

1: First, the forum went back to Nov 13. Which means snapshots/failovers are not done in a timely manner.
2: Then, the forum was partially unavailable for a long time, where whether you would get the site itself or a message saying it was down was arbitrary. Reload a couple of times, and you could still both browse and post (the latter means it wasn't just stale cached data).
3: Then late last night, I got error messages back from the server that disclosed database server information that should never be displayed in a browser.
4: Then, finally the forum was restored, but to a several days old backup.

Again, I'm glad it's back up and running, but I'm not particularly impressed with the readiness and response. Hopefully, the next time something happens, Fender will be better prepared to handle it.


Good and observant comments here though honestly I'd wager a guess that the majority of folks here would rather lose a window of recent posting activity than have the forums shut down for days on end while a more intricate data restoration is performed. Most of the sentiment thus far in the thread appears to echo that statement.

WOW! Hope you find the hacker! This is the only public forum where I'm very active. I miss it when it's down.

Great job Brad (and team)!

I, among many others, am thankful for such dedication and hard work. :D

Minor speed bump on an exemplary forum as far as I'm concerned. 8)

Thanks for the info Brad.

I guess you can disregard the PM I sent you regarding the missing post on "Fender American Vintage Series Truss Rod Adjustment" which had been posted on December 7, and had disappeared. It has magically returned!!
