Forum offline for repair today (9-Feb)

[Ted Hess]

Good news - the correct volume is back and forum online.

Data loss - for approx 12-14hrs (0100-1500 UTC) any images uploaded to 
the forum are "in-hand" but not correctly indexed. I will attempt to 
restore them later today.

The first 2 items were worked around OK but the volume mount problem has caused us to lose all uploaded data like posted images and forum decorations and customizations.

The most painful part of this process is that the forum backups were on the missing volume. It is possible that the virtual block volume mounted is not the correct one and there is a (remote) possibility of getting the correct one back. In the meantime, the forum will remain down until we find a resolution. In the worse scenario, we just lost all our uploaded data AND older backups - not good.
