Intermittent Outages

[Administrator]

Dear all,

You should've received an email yesterday about our servers going down. Unfortunately, this problem has been going on for the last 24-48 hours! Hence, the site/forum has been temporarily unavailable over the last 2 days.

We'd just like to let everyone know that the fault isn't actually with us, and is with our server hosts - although they're the UK's biggest provider of servers, it seems their claim of 99.9% uptime may be bordering on the sensational...

Anyway, I'm very sorry for the outages that have been plaguing the site over the last 2 days. It should all be fixed by Monday, however if you experience problems over the weekend you know why!

I'm losing my hair because of all the stress!! :roll:

Our hosting company decided to move our server to a new IP range, which has resulted in a mistake in their part. Hence, the forum is temporarily unavailable. Please bare with us

And I thought this was a family friendly forum

That's a well known technique for fixing recalcitrant servers, didn't you know? The rubber chicken may also be required.

Doesn't work for AOL though, nothing works for AOL except getting a proper ISP

For fixing servers you need at least a rabbits foot and several hen's!!! :twisted: :twisted:

And I'm listening to a CD of the "Out of Silence" choir singing "How can I keep from singing" as also featured on the Waitrose advert (I think sung by Enya.)
