Downtime

[Ms Grace]

Glad to see everything is fine again, I must admit to worrying it might have been to unsavoury types deliberately bringing the site down, the fact it was a gremlin is at least a relief from that point of view.

Did the site go down again today?  Or was I going crazy?

A few hours ago it wasn't working for me, but I just assumed it was my 4g connection just crapping out (it does that alot).

It was out for me, too, so I'm assuming it was down for everyone. My connection was fine at the time.

The sites that test for downtime all said is was down when I checked a few hours ago.

I'm already a subscriber because I see the value in this site and how quickly costs build from my previous life in IT.

The most frustrating outages are always when it's the service provider. All you can do is make a phone call or two, wait and prey to the Binary Gods (or a higher power of your choosing).

Yes! It's back!!! I feel so dumb lol!  Thank you!!   

Don't feel bad Natalia, it happens to the best of us.
I use to work tech support in IT and I was on the phone with a really sweet o'l lady who had just bought a computer. This was a while back when they were still using 5 1/4" floppy disk. I politely ask her to insert the floppy disk and close the door. The women said "Okay just a minute" She set down the phone and there was a long pause... When she got back on the phone she said, "Okay it's in". Not knowing why the delay I politely ask why she had to step away from the phone. She replied and didn't miss a beat when she said it. "I went to close the front door"... I literally fell off my chair...

No, I have never seen it, but the clip you posted was quite funny. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah. Since I'm IT staff too, I had to know that. It's one of my favorites. (Together with Haven and TBBT for example, which I DON'T think is discriminating. Just had to add that.)

Thanks Susan this site has become an everyday support for me and I have met some lovely ppl I really want to donate but with lawyer fees for my custody battle getting higher every month it has been really impossible.

I did panic bait when the site wouldn't load but all was good in the end.
