Why are the forums so often offline?
This is now every day several times a day.
It is horrible when you are writing something and everything is lost because the forum goes offline.
Makes me really anxious as I follow some people and I like to read the updates from them.
An update.
The problem is complex. We are working on it with our suppliers, but I have to ask your patience while we find a resolution. In the meantime, we are taking several steps to limit service interruptions and therefore reduce the effect on you.
I think Cassandro was right, in the other thread, to suggest that further questions and discussions (of this problem) happen here in this thread. That other thread did originally refer to a DNS problem, which was something of a one-off five months ago, and has no bearing on the current issue. This problem appears to be software-related. Apologies to anyone, especially DongFeng5, who was confused by the use of one thread for two different things that have happened at different times.
I'll provide updates as they are available.
Regards
Seems much better for the last week. Is it fixed? Or is the coming planned maintenance on Thursday to fix it?
