"currently it seems that it’s only our office complex that is without power,
the rest of the area has power again."

Maybe the power company runs Windows servers--and Redmond has the key.

FYI this is having an effect on the forums as some of the template data is
stored on those servers. If you can read this here are some suggestions
to help:

1 - Switch styles (at the bottom of forum pages) as the default style has
more links to these servers than the others

2 - Use the NNTP interface which isn't affected by this.

I'll look into reducing these dependencies on servers other than the forum
servers where I can.

Why don't you switch default forum skin until static.o.o is fixed?

Beineri,

Done.

I like this skin. It's really nice. I'm going to keep it this way if you allow.

Sorry to hear about the power outage.

You'll be back in no time.

Sorry to hear about this too. How did it happen? It almost looks like somebody blew it up - were they digging in the area?

Anyway, any ETA?

It seems like it will take a while. I was wondering why I couldn't update.
