To the staff and techs of FA, thank you for the time and effort you certainly put in to get the site back on the air.
After years (decades?) as a maintainer, wuff knows the stress, hours, and frustration of trying to get malfunctioning systems back on the air when an impatient group of users were anxiously awaiting the return. Glad to see the site back on the air!
Thank you!
Time for a well-deserved rest, and probably some make-up snooze time.

Lit. a single delimiter one / ruined the output of a 20-hour program, dumping info, attempts, filters and personal identifiers as it puked up a skewed retelling of the results page instead of formatting the data into a neat, tidy, anonymous table.
...so yeah. Totally feel for the FA folks, and yes, REALLY Appreciate the work going into this.
Yeah, Vrghr has hit that in more ways than he wants to admit. *grin*
I forgot to delimit the in-page delimiter so the fields would read correctly. One single "/" and ~three days after the class ended, fixed program spit the data out perfectly! LawL+cry
Yeah, at least you get a good story out of it now. And more importantly, lessons learned for both you and any you relate this to!
