The French site is down! And it looks like it's permanent, more or less! Image There's a message on their homepage saying 'Hiatus', but the small text below that looks to me like it's more than that. Could any of our French-speaking members please check it out and tell us how bad it really is? Image

Its written in some weird french, but says more or less, that the pics and everything are gone at the moment and that person doesn`t have - at present - the time to get them back. So its closed, but (if I get it right,) he hopes to repair it someday. :(
But perhaps livetwice could have a look, too.

Noooooo!! I love that site! *sniffle*

My French is horrible but I think he says something like: the maintenance of the site has become a problem, it takes a lot of time and "only the future will say what will become of the site."

Yes, some day, that's how I interpreted it too. That's really bad. Image

I'm sure we're not. I think there would be enough candidates to keep this site alive and kicking ;-)

Oh heaven forbid!! :o
Gads, I'm SO glad I was there a couple of days ago to look for new additions, and saved them before this happened. Strange, as if I was having a presentiment... :shock: I'll post them in the photos thread, can't put them in the gallery because they're watermarked.

You got right translation ..it's said that "the gallery it out actually because of a computer problem ("SQL problem") and that the webmaster has no time and doesn't feel up to spend many hours to take again all the pics, to sort them and post. The future would tell us what is going on with this site..." :?

So it's not permanent but I guess the webmaster need time to feel better... :-k

Ahh, thanks for the translation germangirl and livetwice, I wondered what happened.
I liked that site, I hope he comes back.

Never had a chance to go to that site....too darn busy on this one.
How is this site fairing by the way? Are we okay?
Do the moderators need any help - (not like I can be of any but I would if I was shown how)

Yes, a good question, because I am not so sure, there would be too many to be able to jump at it right away. So please, let us know, if help is needed, so a thing like that won`t happen in the first pace.

Thanks Sharmaine and germangirl.
We're doing okay on this site.
We have backups incase anything like that happens to our site so we don't need to worry.

Ash :mrgreen:

I have no idea what SQL means but I figured it had to be some sort of server problem, because he said that all the pictures were gone. Just imagine how much work it would take to put them all up again, there were thousands! :(

Edit: Good to know that Ash, thanks for the reassurance *phew*

SQL is the industry-standard language used to build, maintain and retrieve data from a database, developed by IBM in the '70s.

Go ahead say it.... 'GEEK'!
