Guys, I'm very sorry.
There was a big technical disaster with our server over yesterday.
The details are the following.
I have upgraded our server from Ubuntu 9.10 to Ubuntu 10
And it stopped to work after the reboot.
This was because our hosting just does not support Ubuntu 10.
I didn't expected this.
It was impossible to rollback the system.
I was speaking to tech support and moving YoWindow to our backup server over yesterday.
Copying 4GB of forum images over FTP back and forth was quite a challenge...
yowindow.com was hosted in Saint-Petersburg, up until the crash.
Yesterday I have moved yowindow.com to a new server in Germany.
I am making backups of our forum every day and we have managed to save the data base and the images, especially Landscape Collection.
But unfortunately, I suppose, a couple of last days were lost, 14 and 15 of March.
I apologise.
Please check your posts and post again if you feel so.
Please report any problem you will find on the site or the forum after upgrade in this topic.

Hi Pasha,
good to see our forum is back
I'm afraid we lost a lot of topics ... since 10.3. and the last PM's
Also some avatars were not shown (f.e. "fishermanblues") and also the smilies in the threads.
By the way: I host all my private and custom websites also in Germany by the company 1und1/Strato with best experience since a long time.

Re: The forum is back!
Hey, Werner, I'm happy you can login and post
I'm afraid there is no way to recover the posts, PMs (after 03.13) and images (probably after 03.10) that was submitted to the forum.
I am aware that all the old smiles turned to text, but I don't know how to turn them back to graphical images.
If you to find any information how to solve this problem, please let me know.
Sorry again I should have made a backup prior to upgrading Ubuntu.
Thanks for letting me know about another good German hosting service.
I have choosen

because of good recommendations on Russian webmaster forum.

Hey, Pasha. I read the forum, I know many of the things you are looking at and I have worked as a programmer for more years than I want to remember. Have no fear, I am exceedingly patient and I know that every new thing you guys put into the widget is going to be a nice surprise.
Your efforts really are appreciated.

Andreas

Re: The forum is back!
Your message saying the forum was down, really scared me
Good to see you managed to save almost everything.
And thank you for adding the new smileys
