On Friday, for an unknown reason, the board scripting spontaneously erased the page that contains the organization of the messages. All the individual messages, however, were saved, but it meant my having to manually recreate the page, one message at a time, which took some time. They are in just about the exact arrangement they were in before, with the same content. I will take steps in the future to avoid the same down time, should something similar occur again. Carry on!
On Sunday, a similar thing DID occur, still not sure why- wondering if there's a saboteur lurking about, but I have taken measures to be able to get the board back up much quicker if it happens. The first crash took me hours to restore, the second took me just minutes to restore.
The last message posted may be lost, so look to see if it made it to the board when you see that the board has crashed and you were the last person to post, then repost it when the board is back up. Thanks for your patience.
