      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Recovery of the user contributed images from the old gallery is underway,  if you have previously uploaded pictures then they should be re-appearing over the next few weeks in the new xenforo media gallery.<br />
<br />
To check what&#039;s been recovered,  click on the &quot;Media&quot;  menu option in the form header,  or click on &quot;Picture Gallery&quot; from the home page. <br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Spammers started using the backsaw.net server a few days ago as a means of sending spam email from the domain backsaw.co.uk,  this large volume of emails  ( I deleted about 240,000 of them <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" /> ) this tripped over google&#039;s security system,  which lead to the security warnings.  But a subsequent scan of the system revealed that other software had been uploaded to the server as well, so the only safe thing to do was to take everything off line and do a complete re-install,  which unfortunately...<br />

<br />
Some of you may have noticed the web site was off line in the last few hours,  the problem was the web server error logs grew too large for the disk space.   Every thing is back on line now.   Touch wood.<br />
<br />
If you should notice anything untoward, please drop me an email.  ( usual address ) <br />
