Downtime reason not yet known, save posts to notepad

Post by JediTricks »

Sorry for the frustrating news, but our host suffered an outage today and they don't know why, and it's still affecting the back-end stuff apparently so if it's attack it may still be ongoing. Right now our files are serving beautifully fast, but until they tell me for sure what's going on, I would suggest any significant posts you write should be saved to your computer before you attempt to post them so as not to lose them.

I will update this announcement when I learn more.

Looks like everything's been ok since my announcement, so I'm downgrading it to a conversation.

I actually usually type posts in Notepad!

Also, this place has been reasonably good about saving my posts in a cache if I hit Back.

People spend so much time worrying about whether a figure is "mint" or not that they never stop to consider other flavours.

Good choice.

Yeah, I decided I didn't want to use an active WYSIWYG plugin for the response boxes in part because they make it harder to salvage posts from the cache.
