We're back!!

I've merged the databases and so we've recovered all the missing website information.  We've lost two days worth of message board data, but there awas not a great deal as this site was down for most of saturday and I kept taking things offline on Sunday.  We're also now on the new server which is more powerful with a faster process, faster and larger disks and twice as much RAM.  We've not got the bandwidth we had, but what we have should be enough for now though I'll keep an eye on it incase we start getting fined.

Everything should be working okay, though if you see any strange characters let me know as we've jumped versions of both PHP and MYSQL from older ones to the current releases, plus the database character set and collation have also been changed

Thanks

Quartz on behalf of the Transformers At The Moon twins

For those keeping track I can now tell you that we have re-gained access to our old server and that I will be looking are merging the database from that server with the current one on here later tonight. During the merge the website will be unavailable for approximately 5-15 minutes. In order to complete the merge, I will be populating the database on the old server with any new news stories and galleries and then will be moving that merged version back onto this server, correct any collation or other issues. The result should mean a full restoration of the missnig galleries, news stories, trademarks, trademark history records etc, but we will be missing the weekends messatge board posts.

ACToys.nets have posted images of a new Botcon 2009 exclusive which is a recoloured Galaxy Force Chromia / Transformers Cybertron Thunderblast into the Generation One character Elita-1.  You can view the images using the link at the start of this story or mirrored below.

After yesterday morning's problems we've managed to get the majority of our websites back up and running Transformers Animated, Lucky Draw Transformers and AFA Transformers are all back online, with Transformers Animated just missing episode summaries for the last 2 months (all the galleries are back).

Transformers At The Moon is now back working, missing two galleries, 2 months of news and most noticibly having problems with the stylesheet for the message board.

We will be looking at trying to resolve the remaining issues later today.
