Great to see ZRoadster back up but please could you do something about the colour - black print on grey background ain't easy to read!

I'm hand editing the hacked SQL database at the moment and still don't have access to the full management tools, will change things as and when I can.

I'm so, so pleased we're back!
Can I ask what needs to be done to 'upgrade' to prevent
a) similar hacks and
b) make it possible to get things restored back to normal in the event of any future catastrophe's?
Colour's not to my taste either, but grey should be good for re-sale

My housemate is a computer 'Dr Doolittle' by trade, and did some digging on the person who did the hacking. They are a Turkish hacker who uses simple holes in programs to exploit them and vandalise, as happened.
My housemate did then say "Of course, its your own fault for not upgrading your messageboard program".
My housemate spent £5000 on a new Ka 12 months ago, and someone thankfully wrote it off for him by crashing into it, the very day he made that comment. He then compounded his Karma (loving the puns) by spending the £3000 the insurance company gave him on yet another Ka.
