Yes it is something that's happened before - when we've changed over servers or done database back ups or changed layouts etc.
No it's nothing to do with Komp - and I say that just to absolve him from any blame just in case anyone things he's tinkering behind the scenes
It is annoying I know but Slick is trying to get to the root of the problem so hopefully we'll be back to something approaching "normal" (for us anyway) pretty soon.
