Unfortunately that would not be possible in a scenario like this. The best way to explain it is thinking about upgrading a device. An iPhone or iPad is a good example. You back those up to your computer and the cloud. But sometimes something happens where the device is wiped and you need to restore that backup and until you do, you can't access any of your data. Essentially that is what happened here. There would be no way to access your Admin CP because it wasn't there until the data backups were completed. Same with your members. They all exist in the backup but the backup is data that can't be used until it is uploaded onto the server. Does that make sense? So while the idea is something we would defintitely consider, this is not a situation where it was feasibly possible. The message you saw was sort of like a parked domain message. Because all those addresses exist, a message could be left on the board. But until those boards had their data back, they couldn't be accessed. |

Hi! Can you provide a link for that forum? Likely, it is on ZetaBoards server 11, which is the only server still down, and is estimated to be back up at 6PM Eastern time. (Roughly 6 hours from now, but could be sooner as our developer works on it.) |

ETA, ETA, ETA... Can I get a guaranteed GMT time of when server 11 will be back up? My forum members are screwing, treating this as doomsday. |

Unfortunately, a guaranteed time is not possible. 11PM GMT is the current estimate. Brandon is working to make that happen sooner. Please assure your community this is not doomsday, but we understand the anxiety and are eager to have all communities accessible again. My own board is also on s11, so I appreciate your frustration, but things are happening as quickly as they can. |
