    Sorry about the server issues yesterday and today.

    Today we had a directory fill up on the server, causing it to stall.

    Easy to fix, but I didn't have access at the time.

    Note, we're also reindexing the posts which takes many hours to finish, and it may cause the site to be a bit slower than normal.

    We're back again. Yes, the reindexing of our posts is what filled up the directory. Room is now available to finish. We are starting from scratch (again).

    That's why things might not show up in searches because they haven't been reindexed yet.

    It's slow going for the next few hours as we finish the reindexing.
    Then all your recent activity will show up.

    3/4 done with reindexing. Then site will be fast again! Hope it's never this slow...

    Thanks for the updated program and all the work that you and HipChris have put into it! Maybe it won't need to be updated again for a long minute.
