The H2G2 Editors Started conversation Aug 17, 2004
The DNA servers are experiencing a few problems this afternoon (Tues 17 Aug), resulting in periods of time when it appears that all users' personal data has been lost.
Don't panic! It's all fine, and our techies are bashing the Special Box with a big monkey wrench as we write.
Apologies for the inconvenience.

I don't know who I am anymore, it keeps telling me I am unknown, now, there is nothing rong with being unique, but I am at sea not knowing who I am, to confound things someone has taken the name tags out of all my clothes too

Well, *l*b*st*r sure is a p**n in the n*ck. Even if it is changed in preferences, it reverts back. I blame it on the last update. Someone said it would be a step forward in a retrograde fashion. It's certainly the weirdest 'Problem' I've come across.
I think it's more a case of scrap the monkey wrench, and grab the jack-hammer and JCB, and get some gaffer-tape (Duct tape for those across the pond) and ghet it fixed before we all get the screaming AbDabs....

Maybe this will tame them.

I thought goo users and plain users were polar extremes. Could it be we agree on something?
