Hi guys,
for the last couple of days I can't load the site during the (mostly) morning and midday hours (I am talking about time in Europe).
Site goes back to normal during the afternoon.
Anyone else having the same issues?

Oh yea...4 to 5 times this has occurred in the last couple weeks.

Blank screen...with 'unable to display or show' message. I chalked it up to site updates/upgrades. But the number of times has me suspicious.

Went down 4 times for me this week. I'd check it on https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/ and they'd say the site was down from everyone.

Did Robin break something again?

Nope! Did not! Scouts honour and all that.
It's been unavailable for me too, three or four days in a row and the downtime is measured in hours.

I have had the same experience but I assumed it was routine maintenance. Evidently not.

It’s been happening a lot lately, and was a topic subject a few months ago. Not sure what it is, but it’s been much more frequent over the last few days.

During the last mail call on you-tube Jim stated they were going to upgrade the system. Could be what's going on.

No I wish. The server has become a bit unstable the last week. It's going down several times a day. Not sure what is up. Hackers, site downloaders, or something else. I am checking with the hosting company to see if they can give me any ideas.

Cheers,
Jim

I must be addicted to this site for it to bother me so when it goes unavailable!

Anyway I hope all is well and the problems get fixed soon!

The only things I have been dividing, or actually chopping to pieces, are a LOT of spam/garbage-accounts.

I am in Canada and for the last few days the site is unavailable early in the morning but is ok after dinner time. Hopefully it gets fixed soon as I miss my morning fix of the latest updates. Hard to enjoy my morning coffee without logging onto the site.

The reason it is up after lunch in Canada is I give Jim a hit with a 2x4 telling him to sort it out LMAO
