'sbeen happening on and off for a while; thought it was a duff connection here.I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Main server software update has been carried out tonight - not of the site software but of that which runs the site server itself.
This is to improve site stability - although I have got some further improvements to make to the forum software to reduce server load.
Please report remaining issues, thanks for the feedback so far 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti

Martin,
I take it that this was the reason that the forum vanished altogether last night then? Was it a long upgrade? I was unconnected for an hour before I headed up the wooden hill.Dr. Ian Malcolm:
"Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

Yes, unfortunately there isn't really a 'quiet time' for the sites so I didn't ask the web host to wait for a particular time before they updated everything.06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti

It shouldn't have been "at all" - maximum an hour while the upgrades were taking place (approx 8.30pm), but I also believe the server had a small hiccup at about midnight and was down for a while - would that be right?06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti
