Community forum problems

[Cleoriff]

I know @MI5 started his 'Lonely' thread yesterday.... as he was the only one who managed to get online ...but I thought I would start this one in the hope that management may be able to advise us about Forum issues

Many of the regulars are aware of problems experienced when trying to access the forum over the past 2 days

For me it started on Monday 25th. All ok first thing, then unable to log on for about an hour 8-9am

I had problems again on the Monday evening ...no access from 4-7 pm.

Yesterday (Tuesday) I was 'locked out' from about 4pm till 9pm.(Along with the majority of others I suspect...except MI5) Twitter was alive with the sound of complaints

It was stated that GiffGaff had the same problem.

So a couple of questions from me....

Is this related to Mondays network outage?

Has the forum been compromised?

Is it likely to happen again soon?

Yeah....according to GiffGaff, a bunch of spotty teenagers. Well it is half term and they have nothing better to do obviously.....

If traced they should be made to pay compensation to all those impacted - if they can't afford it then their future entire lifetime earnings should be confiscated and parents assets should be siezed - vote for me!

Ok. ...posting finally from a cozy little bar. It was ok in the early hours but it wasn't  until maybe 2 hours ago that the site came back online for me.

@TobyI am just wondering if it is safe to log out? I am out now for a couple of hours and don't want this palaver when I come back home?

Yes I was a little premature in thinking that things had been sorted out earlier when I first posted just after 9 this morning. No sooner had I posted that the site went down again for several hours. All seems back to normal now, but an explanation for the reasons would be welcome.

I just logged on but it was rather slow to log in at one point it said couldn't connect but I seem to be ok

[jonsie]

When I First logged in I got a very strange layout until I logged out and in again so something isn't quite right yet?
