the timeofnextday.txt file got cleared again some time today so there was an overload of backup files causing hte site to go over disk usage and some stats got erased... the file database has been backed up from a file from about 3 hours ago so it's not that bad.

hey B, did you check your code that keeps backups against bugs? maybe you forget to lock the timeofnextday file or something? well, it's good you got on top of the problem and fixed it.

ok, i'm pretty sure we will never have a runoff ever again. i changed it so that the file stores the weekday, and it makes a backup every time the weekday changes, so if it gets cleared, it will make a maximum of ONE unwanted backup, as opposed to however many times someone used files.cgi. i also made the "weekly update" a "monthly update", so that'll post news every time it's a new month... hopefully... we'll find out if everything actually works in 13 or so days...

GO ME!

lol...
