Thank you!

mistlethrush · 06/05/2012 19:00

something along the lines of 'sorry we're off line, we'll try to fix it as soon as possible. We're not down the pub, honest'

What did it say? Sorry must have missed it.

mistlethrush · 04/05/2012 13:48

I like the new 'offline' message.

I don't like that I've seen it of course.

However... Friday lunchtime, run up to bank holiday weekend... do I really believe it???

mistlethrush · 01/05/2012 00:14

Haha! Yes I will ask him to change the signage...

HotPinkWeaselWearingLederhosen · 30/04/2012 23:33

A sign like

Tech isn't in the pub honest. Tech is trying to fix this. Please don't go to nethuns.

TheSameButDifferent · 30/04/2012 23:30

Thanks Justine. A leetle suggestion, could you put that message or words to that effect on the actual down screen, so that those who see it for the first time will know what is going on. I've been asking on about three threads and it must be getting on your nerves now! Smile

Hi all,
So sorry for all the downtime. Truth is, we're not entirely sure what's causing it but Tech has a list of possibilities and is banging away in the shed, working his way through fixes. It may take a day or two but we will keep at it till we locate the exact problem. Apologies for the inconvenience.

I think they haven't paid the bill, Olivia someone spent it all on gin

mathanxiety · 30/04/2012 17:20

Thank goodness it's not just me. It happened a few mins ago though - sure everything is ok?

FartBlossom · 30/04/2012 16:58

Mine went poof because I clicked off that page (ie preview message - which I dont usually do, but as it was so long and I had an internet link in there I just wanted to check it) and it went to the we are offline for a few minutes. I hadnt highlighted and copied it so I lost it.

ripsishere · 30/04/2012 16:57

Please sort it out.

Atreegrowsinbrooklyn · 30/04/2012 16:43

My posts don't go poof when I'm writing them if MN goes offline.

Why does this happen to some Mners and not others?

McPhee · 30/04/2012 16:43

The last 3 nights (I think the last 3 nights) there has been a lot of MN-down-time. I neeeeeeeeeeeeeeed MN, otherwise I might have to do something useful like laundry, or cooking, or cleaning, or ironing, or shoe polishing, orpacked lunch making......

AvocadoAndFitch · 29/04/2012 21:13

FFS, if MN goes offline once more I may be forced to go and make conversation with DP. And thats just not on.
Last time that happened DS was born 9 months later

Iggly · 29/04/2012 20:55

I came to start a thread but beaten to it.

This cheeses me right off! Happens all the time Hmm

Tee2072 · 29/04/2012 20:55

Nah, if it was DDOS we'd be off for more than minutes at a time.

I think they need a new host or new hosting servers if they self host. A million hits a minute is draining on any server. Grin

FartBlossom · 29/04/2012 20:54

AAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHH I just wrote a long reply on a thread and went to preview it and poof. GGGGRRRR not happy now MN. I dont want to go to the dark side, but I can't be wasting my time writing lots of words for it to disappear
