Yes, PM's are down. There are some issues with the site that are being dealt with before the PM's can be fixed. Right now, you can send a PM, but you can't read them. All the PM's are going to be deleted, since the corruption in those files can't be found without investing many, many hours reading through over 15,000 lines of code in the hope of finding something.
If you have info in your PM's that you want or need, be sure to either download your whole PM file using the command at the very bottom of your PM screen, or just copy and paste the info you want to another text program. We will loose all of our PM's propably by this evening or tomorrow.
If any of you have made communications through PM's, you'll need to make them again after the PM's are fixed, or use e-mail. In my case, a number of you have contacted me that I can't respond to, so please contact me again next week when this is fixed.
