Ok, here is the latest, the KF web site is back up on it's feet and working just fine, however the backup used to restore the Forums was just over 1 month old. My hosting provider are going to attempt to recover the data from the damaged RAID set, however they have no idea of how successful they will be. So the question is, do I leave the Forum disabled for a couple of days pending the outcome of the data recovery, or do I just bite the bullet and enable the forums even though we have lost a month worth of posts? Please note that if I do enable the forums and the restore is successful, then we would have to decide whether the old data was more valuable than any posts made since the forum had been re-enabled. I would be interested in everyone's opinion?

Rod.
