Hi Guys.
Was the site down most of today, or was it just my machine having a rough day ?
Mike.
Were we off earlier, or just my computer ?

Re: Were we off earlier, or just my computer ?
Ciarán did post a message saying there were "technical difficulties" or somesuch but the site was AWOL
from first thing this morning until about half an hour ago. onthecut - this time the hassles experienced
weren't down to your PC!!
When the xm site does get wobbly, it's always worth checking out http://www.frenchcarforum.co.uk where
other regulars here frequent too.

Hi folks,
Yes Andrew is quite right, the site was indeed offline for about 12 hours yesterday due to a network problem between the web and database servers.
Typically, it chose a morning that I was halfway down the country to die, it was running fine about 6am when I left home, but then Robert helpfully texted me to let me know it was down, sometime after 8.
I did have access to a PC where I was, so I tried remoting in to look at the problem, but unfortunately, being a network problem, it wasn't something that could be fixed from afar, so had to wait until I got back. In the meantime I posted a temporary page detailing the problem, but TBH I doubt it will have been seen by many who have links directly to the forums in their favourites / history.
I did arrive home again about 6pmish, but was feeling crap and fell asleep, forgetting all about the server problem. It wasn't until I woke after 8 that I remembered and went in to sort it, something which typically, was literally a two second fix.
So yes, sorry it was offline for so long

Ciaran - I don't think you have anything to apologise for!

Cairan; The message was visble instead of the home page. As already said, you've done a cracking job with setting this forum up and a timely repair yesterday.
Well Done..
