Upload report now gives this message

'Missing files Due to a major system failure, when Report Recent is
checked, files uploaded between the previous update and about 22:40 on 16th
Feb 2006 will not appear in the list of recently uploaded files.'

However it appears that no files uploaded after 22:40 on 16th Feb 2006 show
up either.

Files from transcribers which appear on Show File dated 17th and 18th Feb
2006 are not showing in ' Report Recent' searches.

Is it planned to restore this before the next update? Or does this depend on
that very scarce resource, time available to the people like Dave and Barrie
who are able to work on it?
