Main site server down at this time. Cause unknown.

Reported to hosts and this will be fixed ASAP.

Apologies for any inconvenience.

Oh, now I read this, after reloading the page 10 times!  ;D

The box is still unresponding after a reboot.

We are working on it!!

Let's hope it's not a worst case scenario (where we need a new server & have to upload 100's GB's of data!)

So please keep your fingers crossed ......

Still managing to get to the Forums by Googling "Simviation Forums" instead of trying to load the main Site..... :)...!

Lets hope that all is not as bad as it seems at the mo', Pete!... :o....!

I hope all goes well!

Paul.

P.S.....Its seems strange that we can still get access to the Sim V Forum without going through the Main Site, even though they are provided by the same Server?
...little do I know about Internet Service Providers!... ;D....!

Not sure if this is just me, but pictures aren't working in the forums?

Affected by present problems with the Main Site.

All getting sorted with Pete's help... ;)... ;)...!

Paul... :)...!

Well the guy who went down to reboot our main site machine accidentally tripped the server that houses these forums.

Then the temp access switch they gave us to gain access to the box froze -- coupled with our tech guy living in Russia, it being the weekend so no other staff available, and the hosts tech support not knowing the OS, we had to wait until today before we could finally team up everyone required to get this machine up and working again.

My reaction after trying to access the forums yesterday:

A big bag of Chocolate Cookies for Pete, and the rest of the Maintenance Crew!... [smiley=thumbsup.gif].....!

Its been a lonely place, out here!... ;)...!

Well done, all!
