Forum offline

Did anyone have issues getting to the forum before 8am? I had server reset messages until just after 8am $:-\$

Gary · Dec 21, 2007, 09:12:36

Obviously just a glitch then, and I found it

Rik · Dec 21, 2007, 09:25:13

I noticed an issue yesterday, Gary, but it cleared itself before I could dial...

Gary · Dec 21, 2007, 09:30:24

This happened about 7:20am this morning Rik, went to log in and got the server reset message from firefox, then just after 8am all was ok $:-\$

Inactive · Dec 21, 2007, 09:36:46

Serves you right for getting up so early Gary..

Rik · Dec 21, 2007, 09:39:56

A strange activity, vaguely reminiscent of having to earn a salary.

Gary - Martin took the server down this morning for some housekeeping.

Gary · Dec 21, 2007, 09:43:36

Right that explains it

, shame you cant have a server down for maintenance message put up somehow $:-\$

I suspect that's what the reset message was saying.

Inactive · Dec 21, 2007, 09:47:32

That would be a catastrophe then Gary.

Seriously, I saw the cats at the gallery, they look lovely.

Some forums have a "we are down for maintenance back at...." message, that was what I meant Rik not the server offline FF generic one

Thanks Inactive they are a pair of cuties and cuddle under the Duvet and lick my nose to wake me up for their breakfast, with my wife Justina away I would be lost for company without them

We do, Gary, but for it to be displayed, the server has to be up.

Gary · Dec 21, 2007, 10:26:55

How come some site manage a server offline for work then Rik, I'm fuddled

Rik · Dec 21, 2007, 10:30:39

All I'm saying, Gary, is that if we take the forum down, we do display a message. If IDNet take the server down, it's up to them what is displayed.

Ok this is Gary to Rik at ground control, understood now, over

I expect they were dusting it before the christmas break.. keep it nice and clean and shiny for us

Malc · Dec 21, 2007, 14:12:49

It's obvious Rik needs to start getting up earlier, to look after us

That's exactly what they were doing, in computer terms, Ann. Cleaning up the server, making sure we had plenty of space etc.

If I do that, I'll have to start going to bed at night, Malc.

And we thought you were 24 hour support

Rik · Dec 21, 2007, 18:02:16

No, it's a common misconception. The truth is that Sue supports me 24/7.

Malc · Dec 21, 2007, 22:03:08

Poor Rik

Simon · Dec 21, 2007, 22:04:10

True. That's more like it, Sue can't just
