Site down?

Tech

Did anybody else find it impossible to access the site for the last few hours, or was it just me?

I couldn’t access the site and also no 8.00 am pic?

I guess if the site was off line at 8am, a new picture couldn’t be brought into play.  And it’s a bit late now!  Gives us all the more time to think about the noon one, I guess.

Sorry folks, my server went down at some point in the early hours of this morning. 

I managed to resolve the problem by remotely connecting to another machine in the data-centre which is able to perform a reboot of my own server. First time I’ve had to do this in five years, but all worked just fine and the server is back up and running. The 12am photo should load as normal.

Thanks, Chris - can’t have been the best Saturday morning for you!

It doesn’t seem to be accepting new captions on the 12 o’clock photo.

Apologies folks - I have been out all morning, but back now and will find out what's gone wrong and get it fixed.

Okay - it’s back up and running. When I rebooted the server, the dupe detector hadn’t automatically started up. This prevented captions being added.

Many thanks!
