Kk. I think when this happened before the dots eventually came back once the server re-did them so no biggie I guess. I'd be more worried if it was just me.
It was a power outage, a particularly annoying one since these servers are all supposed to be on multiple power backups. The dots should return over the next couple days.
Thanks for the quick response, Gary. Once again I say that if I escalated something like this at the major corporation I work at, it would take a day to get a "we're working on it" response, and several days or more for any sort of troubleshooting results.
