Give us a couple hours, please.

Please be patient with me; Godaddy is not finished with me yet.

Looks like several of the last ten days' photos have disappeared. I'm going to collect the URLs of pages with missing photos here, so I can complain about them to the GoDaddy people all at the same time:

http://www.cardboardchristmas.com/forum ... ?f=2&t=912 - Got these fixed
http://www.cardboardchristmas.com/forum ... 2&start=10 - Got these fixed
http://www.cardboardchristmas.com/forum ... ?f=2&t=908 - Got these fixed
http://www.cardboardchristmas.com/forum ... ?f=4&t=906 - Got these fixed
http://www.cardboardchristmas.com/forum ... f=14&t=904 - Got these fixed
http://www.cardboardchristmas.com/forum ... f=28&t=905 - Soon, I hope
http://www.cardboardchristmas.com/forum ... f=28&t=916 - Soon, I hope

You shouldn't have to re-upload these - the GoDaddy guy says they have everything backed up so that should include the photos.

I'll let you know tomorrow.

Thanks for your patience.

I have a backup with these photos, so I'll upload them as I get time. Sorry about that.

WELCOME BACK! After 2 days trying to hack my way back into my own account and about 4 hours on the phone, I think it's working again. I still have to restore the missing photos, but that's a piece of cake compared to what I've been doing.

Thanks all for your patience,

Paul

Hi Paul--I emailed you some error messages which appear at the top of the main CC forum page

THANK YOU for all you do to keep our hobby going!

Maria, are you still getting those messages? Please try refreshing and see if they're still there.

Thanks,

Paul

WHEN I SAID A COUPLE HOURS, I SHOULD HAVE SAID A COUPLE DAYS.

Sorry about that. I have spent about 12 hours trying to hack my own site back into working. Lesson: When your server guy says to move to a new server because its faster and cheaper and has a lot more room, and it won't cause you any trouble at all, take that right up there with the nurse with the needle who says "this won't hurt a bit."
