Database server crash

Hi everyone,

Last night our database crashed out of the blue, taking parts of the Drupal system with it. Unfortunately not all repair attempts were 100% successful and our backups of the specific components also turned out to be useless.

We took the opportunity to migrate Drupal to a different and more robust database storage engine to test whether it's ready for production use as well. We also fixed the flawed backup. However, some parts of Drupal have been affected and we still need to assess the actual impact. So please leave some feedback in the community section if you encounter any strange things are missing/broken site content.

Cheers,
OliverĀ

FYI, so far we've noticed

FYI, so far we've noticed "page not found" errors for host and task details pages as well us wrong localisation languages for non-logged-in users. Both issue should be fixed now, hopefully.
