What happened to the server?
I got several strange looking screens with database error messages and saying a message was being sent to technical support.

Not Sep-Oct 2001 all over again I hope. :confused: :eek: :confused:


Joe, is it time for more contributions? ;)

I just purchased a new computer, and took down my old one. I sent a quick email to my webhost to recive the database password so i could backup the database. They did not have access to the password, so they created a new password... Once they changed the password, the old pass wouldnt work for the database, so we got error messages. It took me a few minutes to get into the database and change the pass. whew! :)
