No sure who noticed but we had an outage earlier. I think it was all Marks fault, as he is away in Germany and the servers are probably sulking.
Anyway, I just wanted to post a public thanks to Simon who got the issue sorted. I don't know why happened or why but I do know he sorted it from the side of the M40 I believe! Thanks for your efforts Simon, much appreciated.

Re: Outage earlier
Well I wish I could report that I knew what had happened in the first place but the logs and everything else show nothing at this point. I do have a complete backup of everything ready to go on a much nicer server which we will switch to soon.
To do that we will have to switch DNS at some point but we're having a few technical issues with that at the moment!
Suffice to say that it's in hand and even if the worst happens - all of this valuable information/:censored: we write is safe and protected

If we only protected the valuable data you could back it up on a 5 1/4 floppy!

Re: Outage earlier
I can assure you that when I shut down my pic at home, it had nothing to do with the subsequent forum outage.
Flipping hot here too. Didn't believe the car when it said 33 outside at about 6pm last night. Then got out.
Well into the 20's already this morning. Though not forecasted to be quite so warm.
You're showing you're age Stu with 5 1/4 floppies. I remember the 8" ones (well I think they were 8" my memory is fading). I know they were big and didn't hold a lot.

Re: Outage earlier
I think there were 10.5" and 5 1/4 I don't remember an 8"
The first floppy I ever owned was a 5 1/4 and it had a bbc basic speech synthesiser on it. I think I primarily used it to randomly spit out swear words in the school library. I'd set a delay so I could be away from the machine then at random times it would come out with insulting sentences.

Re: Outage earlier
There were definitely 8" floppy disks but I'm not aware of anything bigger. I didn't use 8" drives - my first experience was with 5 1/4" double sided drives which I was running MS-DOS 1.11 on - still got that machine too
