Fawnna asks: > Question is, what would have caused these files to be 'deleted' ? When server storage (drive) space is max'ed out, this can happen easily. It happens when you are writing a file. For instance, when someone joins or edits a ring or site. The program requests the server to rewrite the file. The server will first delete the file of the same name, then commence to write it. If it receives an "out of space" message while it is writing, it will then abort the write, leaving neither the old file or the revised one. To prevent this, you must either use redundant storage, which can double your storage costs and processing, or leave plenty of storage free. Yours, Dave
