[UCIMC-Tech] Problem solved [was Re: Website DB problem - help available?]

[Andrew Ó Baoill]

Not sure who helped with this - or if the problem fixed itself.  
Either way, I see the WRFU website is back in working order.

If you helped fix it - thank you, I appreciate the attention to the  
problem. If there's anything to be learnt from the problem - like  
problematic input data - I'd appreciate pointers, so we can avoid the  
problem in the future.
