Well, given that with DD switched off the server survived over 24 hours when it wouldn't do more than half an hour before, I have switched it back on presently. The 'genre selector' is still disabled at present because I believe that to be completely messed up and needs the query to be rewritten.
You'll also notice that presently we're back to the old index screen because some kind person (Les) pointed out that woes only really started when I switched to the new front page. I should point out though, that if thats the case it's MY fault and not the people who designed the layout and look of the page, cos it'll be my crappy queries barfing it all up :)
Anyway, we'll see whether we stay alive long enough to allow postings again this time eh?
Steve.
