Forum down

#1 Post by Christel »

As I am sure most of you have noticed the forum has been down today, at least 6 hours that I am aware of. I have been offered the usual explanation of "maintenance" and after that it was "we are working on it". I suspect they were under attack.
Apologies for the down time.

Looks like we are back :shakeshout:

I logged on before leaving work just after 6 this morning, everything was fine. Got up at 12:30 with someone chirping in my ear that "The Forum" wouldn't load. Quick check on Downforeveryone and I knew it wasn't us. :grin:

I think it was from about 8 ish in the morning to 14.00 ish that they had the problem.

Weird how it has become part of our everyday life here in this house and when it won't load it just feels like something is missing... ;)

Just logged on and getting error messages, and being kicked out.
I don't take it personally, though...

Oh no, please do not take it personally. O:-)

Could be the forum is not quite stable yet, maybe your cookies playing up?
