Weird, coins disappeared from my QT client

[gamelife859]

I just deposited 1.5 BTC into my QT client wallet a minute ago, but now the new BTC AND the transaction all disappeared from my QT client main screen. Also I'm seeing all these warning about a blockchain fork, should I wait or change my client to 0.7?

I think the bitcoin network is down or something. Definitely not good news.

If you're mining, make absolutely sure you're using Bitcoin 0.7 or lower.  Do NOT use Bitcoin 0.8.

If you're not mining, do nothing and wait for the all-clear.  Running Bitcoin 0.8 as a node is fine so long as you're not mining.
