Server Configuration Restored
I have just noticed that an important server configuration file got erased during the move. I have just restored it. It's quite amazing that the server worked at all without it :) There were several small things that broke because of the absence of this configuration file, most noticeably you might have noticed that strange backslashes (\) started to appear whenever you would put a single quite (') or a double quote (") in your Overstream's Author comments - and maybe also in just comments, I am not sure. This should be fixed now.

Yep, it happened in the user comments too, just checked: e.g. Uuh Can\'t wait! in http://www.overstream.net/view.php?oid=i1agu4a9mdtw . Guys, as soon as you see something strange like this, please tell me!!! It is usually an indicator that something wrong has happened somewhere in the site...
Someone else had commented about the "too many users" - I received that message a couple of days ago in the forum, but it seems to work now.
Yes, that was actually a bug which I have just fixed. However, it appears that the server is having some other major problems. It doesn't look it beacause the website actually continues to run smoothly, but it's almost certain that we are in for some more downtime in the future to let the hosting correct some stuff. I will try to announce it in advance as much as possible.
