Before you ask - haven't a clue!

Looks like the site's been down for around 3 hours, and I really have not an inkling why....... Doubtless we'll find out in due course, but in the meantime, we're back and boogying!

Most odd - all the sites from the same server company were down at the same time, so I'm presuming it was probably a physical fault....... In the meantime I had been wondering if it had been too many mirrors causing an overheat, legionella of the servers, or possibly even a return visit from the inbred tossers from Albania........

My error message said "too many connections" whatever that meant.

It wasn't to fix the "preview" option then

Just done the same to me as I was about to give Ivan a damn good smiting...


... It's all very sinister.

I noticed it too and duly reported it. Apparently it was some kind of security check - to see if the server could withstand an attack from 'too many connections (is that the same as a DOS attack?). Apparently it passed with flying colours

Probably a good move to mention that there is a simple script available from SMF that will enable the new and old Ivans to be morphed into one (needs running on the server, hence a Porsche owner's job!), and for some reason the "preview" thingummy doesn't work since they moved the forum off the US servers to a UK one - oh, and the clock's wrong!

If they're THAT good, perhaps they could advise this lot as to where they went wrong....... http://offline.survivalinternational.org/6631.html
