I noticed that as well, It looks like we lost about a weeks worth of data, posts made between Jan 3 and Jan 16 seem to be missing, since the site has been down for over a week it looks like we lost a few days. Unfortunately the last backup I made was on Jan 2 so that won't be of use. Feel free to repost anything that is missing.

ahh...life is back to normal now.

Just a reminder to everyone that these boys don't get paid to bring you this amazing place and it costs many hours of their free time as well as $$$ to do so. Consider throwing a tip their way.

Wow, what a relief - I was just seconds away from joining the Flypast forum... :shock: Jalopnik.com had to take up a lot of the slack.

New avatar for Scott - looks like you've dropped a few pounds; good for you! Thanks for all your hard work in getting our little home fixed up again.

What's everybody talking about, something happen here? :hide:




Seriously, I figured musta been a server upgrade, plus the usual glitches and gremlins that go along with such adventures. WIX appears to be growing too solidly to be anything else. Sure good to have 'er back now, yippee!

Hopefully just damp, or do you need Jeff to send you the T-shirt for mopping water? :shock:

No, I've got a P-51D T shirt for that kinds thing... :lol:

Kightly...Hope all is well with you. The pictures we get of the flooding look horrendous.

Mudge the concerned

Thanks for the concern, but thankfully we are aOK. Have to say we've been very lucky here, with no powercuts (thousands of locals to us have been out) and no flooding around our house, although lots of people further west have been hard hit. We had 200mm (7.8 in) of rain in less than three days. Seems only one life lost in Vic, thankfully though. It's been a lot tougher in Queensland.

Meanwhile back to WIX, because it's back, and we can!

EXCELLENT!!!Thanks Scott, Ryan and anyone else who helped get the WIX back online. Good call Spooky. A monthly donation to the tip jar can certainly help these guys stay in business. Ya got mine.

After reading my msg to JDK, I must apologize to all our troops from OZ. Sounded like James was the only one I was concerned about. Not true. Hope all youse troops are OK. The more pictures I see, the worse it looks.

Mudge the thoughtless :oops:

Mr. JDK,
I'm guessing that the drought in Oz is officially over? I could however be wrong.

Isn't that where you stand in front of a PBY and they wave the nose turret in your direction? :rolleyes:
