Thanks Bombadil for the info. No worries. I spent ages checking DNS and pinging etc. Luckily Webmaster(Admin) were really on the ball. Unfortunately I couldn't tell anyone. Still I interacted in the real world for a while! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll see if I can find out I wouldn't worry about it too much, there was apparently an issue with SiteGround hosted websites last night. Though I really doubt it was the case that a server had 'melted' - knowing how well air-conditioned these datacenters are! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleP Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Thanks Bomb. I thought it was me. After posting a trigger word or two....it went down. I couldn't edit my post. Was it anything to do with heatwave by any chance? As I predicted, some of the supermarkets' fridges were down, waiting for a repair man to turn up. Iceland is always lovely though.

I dont know exactly. Just that it was a hardware issue. Its not something as mods we can do anything about. We only have limited access to tools of moderation. The rest is an Admin issue! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macnamara Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 a 'hardware' issue? so basically that could mean anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombadil Posted July 21 Author Share Posted July 21 12 minutes ago, Macnamara said: a 'hardware' issue? so basically that could mean anything Ok I can agree hardware covers a lot of different areas. Pretty open to interpretation. This was a quick topic just to reassure members that we as mods were looking into the issue. That all is back to normal. If you think there could be more to this start a new topic looking into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting; would make perfect sense, keep it in the family. "The world's a stage and each must play a part" As sung by Elvis, not Shakespeare.
