Just a little problem with the server, folks. We were only down for an hour or two. Sorry for the inconvenience!
They were updating some things in the MySQL database - which is what this forum is based on. All good to go now.
I just wanted to remind (or let some of you know) that there is a thread regarding outages. The first post states the following:
Quote:I thought this would be a great place to post this.
There is a website you can go to that has status updates about our server. For example if you ever try to get on the website and it will not load or if it is running extremely slow, you can go to the following website to check the status of our server. It will explain what is going on. You may just want to bookmark it because if our site is down, you won't have any way of finding this post!

After looking at this site, it looks like there are a lot of outages, but keep in mind that this report is not just for our server; it is also for several other sites/servers with this company. So out of all the reports you see, maybe 2 of them have affected us so far.
I hope this helps calm any anxiety or fears regarding the website being down or running slowly (which I don't anticipate much). Be assured that we are keeping very current and up-to-date backups at three different places so if a worse case scenario happens, we will not lose anything.
Hope this helps!
I noticed to site was down today, but because I was at work it didn't bother me, I just checked it out an hour or two later and it was up again. It's only disappointing when forums go down for hours on end, or even days, and especially if you're sitting at your computer with an itch to post!
