Forum down time 17th Jan 2012
« on: 17 January 2012, 14:27 »
Hi Guys,

There has been a few odd blips of downtime today; I've just been speeding up some of the server configuration behind the scenes which involved the occasional reboot of a few critical services.

I'm almost complete now, but it should result in a much faster website! Thanks for the patience everyone.

Damn pixies!  :grin:

I've had nothing but:

This today.

Hope it gets fixed.

I'm still tinkering! So you might see the odd error.

I'll update this thread when done.
