PMA draws to a close, and an Internet tale of woe!

We're still on the show floor at PMA and running round getting all of those last-moment photos and info we need for our PMA wrapup (look for this over the next couple of days, along with a lot of other info we literally haven't yet had time to report on)... The show wraps up today, and we could be forgiven for thinking that our Internet provider was trying to wrap us up too! During a routine upgrade yesterday to help with the incredible server load we've been experiencing during the show, a technical 'support' engineer (we use the term in its loosest sense) managed to hose our config and take down parts of the site left, right and center. A very long afternoon later (at least, it felt that way to us) we managed to fix everything with the exception of our camera database, which is now also (finally) back up. Thanks to the many readers who've emailed us to report the problems you've been seeing, and we apologise on our Internet provider's behalf for the inconvenience to you at our very busiest time of year!
