Today's forum outage.

[DM090820]

Hello everyone,

As many of you will have realised by now the forum has been offline for a few hours today. This was entirely beyond our control, it would seem our hosting provider moved us to a new server.

In doing so they automatically added a line of code into an important file, that would say "this website has moved to a new server", had it been implemented correctly. Instead it broke the code in that file and put us offline.

We would have fixed this issue within 5 minutes, but we were unable to access any administrative tools whilst the hosts were moving us.

On behalf of all the staff, I apologise for this inconvenience,

Reece.

Not your fault, but thanks for keeping us posted.

I'm surprised it took you so long, I thought you were good at this kind of thing? :p
