Website recently frequently unresponsive/unreachable

Or is it just me...?

[Jonk179]

Not only you Quinten I'm having same problems. Keeps saying server on obtainable. I thought it was just me.

That was meant to be unobtainable, I hate predictive text!!!

Website or forum?  The forum went down mid-week last week due to a major localised Internet outage; it was down again in the wee hours of Sunday morning; and Adrian had to do some emergency work this evening (apologies for the lack of pre-notice, hence the word emergency).

Thanks Scott, yes the forum and it appears to be at the times you started. All appears to be OK now.

There's a website?

Are there still issues with the forum? Seems to be I see all "new" posts that I have not read once and then click "view new content" and the whole lot has gone !! Even though I have not read any of them I have selected " Items I have not read" on the left. Didn't do this till a couple of days ago?

Where is that selected Mark? ......I've had a quick look but can't see anything obvious!

I'm not sure I can see it myself when logged in as Admin on the PC, but on the mobile the button appears right next to the view new content button.

I couldn't get in to the boardroom at all earlier today.

Yes, according to Adrian, we had a malicious Denial of Service attack on the forums at 0430 today.  He managed to get it sorted mid-morning.  No idea of the details, but Adrian can explain I'm sure.
