All,

As you may have figured out by now, we lost some data.

Part of it is due to a hard drive crash we experienced during the Server Maintenance window, and part of it is due to a not-so-thourougly tested update I put in.

The update resulted in extremely bad load times. I have reverted the update, and will test it a bit more carefully before applying it again.

We will try to get the hard drive replaced tomorrow. Expect more downtime.

Sorry for the trouble.

-m

Update: NOTE: No data should be lost from this, as far as I know.

At the bottom of your list you should see a link that says "Export", this will save the list in a .txt file.

Does this mean part of our lists were lost? My lists are so big that I can't remember what the heck I had in them...T_T

What kinds of "data" do you think was really lost from this misfortune?

I just checked: nothing big, just some of the latest change. Check what has been released since yesterday (6th) and you'll be good. cool

I'm so relieved! For a while there I was afraid I'd have to build my lists up again from scratch eek
I really should back up my lists, though. You never know what could happen.
