Hello everyone,
First of all thank you for the patience you all have had with this unexpected downtime of Wikiloc. During maintenance tasks we detected an unusual behavior of the database that was affecting its contents. Given the possibility of this being a huge problem we decided to stop the server and analyze the situation looking for the source of the issue. It seems that some records in the database were corrupted due to disk failure. Once this has been detected we have proceeded to the recovery of the data, also including the content added after the last backup. This process has been painfully slow, but that was the only way users were not affected and that you didn't loose any of the information uploaded. Once the problem has been fixed, we have also taken advantage of this situation to update the structure of servers and put some updates in place, like our brand new homepage. We hope you like it! Please, excuse us if we have caused any inconvenience during these three days. Thank you so much for all the suport we have received from you during this hiccup. Happy trails! Wikiloc Team

Hi!
Thank you so much for the new home page! It now looks more like Wikiloc webpage deserves! I wouldn't mind another weekend for more changes regarding the whole webpage, not just the home page!  It's nice to have you here in the US. I'm actually from Barcelona and used Wikiloc a lot for trails in the Pyrenees. Now I'm trying to upload new tracks on the site so we all get more coverage in the area where I live now (Austin, TX). In addition to this, I also take the chance to go hiking when I travel around the country, so there are even more tracks for people to use. It's also very useful to me since it has become my hiking journal on the net! Bona feina!
