Forum Down

[SafeSpeedv2]

This evening of the 10th Nov 09 - the forums 'crashed' the software apparently causing the memory to 'run out' and so the forum stopped !
The servers are reset and so the forum is now backup and running thankfully.

I am looking at upgrading an important software update that I have missed doing.

My sincere apologies everyone, so sorry for any inconvenience experienced.

The website has been down (loading extremely slowly) since early this morning (17th Feb 10).

We don't yet know the reason why, but it seems to be OK now.
We're trying to find out why this happened.
Our apologies for any inconvenience.

My apologies that the website and forum were down for approx 21 hrs.
It seems that the host thought that they had not received payment. This was resolved and the hosting resumed.
I am taking steps to ensure this should not happen again.

There was a technical issue with the site for a period today (27th May 2010) - :

We had a significant network outage this morning that lasted around 90 minutes (6:50AM to 8:20AM Pacific time, GMT -7:00).
It took us longer than expected to track down the issue because it was a rather obscure cause.
We traced to root of the issue to a switch that had failed in such a way that it caused an overload on our other switches' CPUs.
We've taken the faulty switch offline and will replace it soon.
In the meantime, service has been restored.

We are sorry if anyone was inconvenienced in any way.

Never noticed , and if down - we put up with it - you do a great job with minimal resources . One question - when do you sleep ?

Congrats Claire .

Well thank you - Appreciated
Sleep - yeah do about 6 hrs a night (ish) and then the odd cap nap usually, but if there is something on it tends to be a lot less sleep and a catch up later another day ...
Did Talk sport once til 4am and I was running on about 4 hrs from the previous 2 days ! Had driven south overnight as I recall and been too busy to sleep the following night. Funny what you can do when you have to ! Motivation is a great thing.
