Hi all,

Tech has asked us to let y'all know that they will be tinkering in the backend Blush on Sunday morning around 10am.

The site will be down for a while so they can do some essential maintenance and upgrades, hopefully not for too long.

Fear not, there will be no dramatic changes. We are just giving you a heads up that this is happening.

Very bouncy here. More backend tinkering required?

'Please do pop over to Site Stuff and give us a shout if you have any further problems'

we are on site stuff and yes it's still causing problems

cozietoesie · 25/11/2013 18:14

Looks like it's still 'bouncy'. Best cancel Tech's annual leave.

CaptainSweatPants · 25/11/2013 18:13

it's messing up my survival of the wtiching hour before bed

CatelynStark · 25/11/2013 18:11

I'm having terrible problems connecting with my iPad on Safari too. Nor can I get on (and stay on) on my iPhone :(

RubyGoat · 25/11/2013 17:38

I keep getting error messages as well, still. Confused

DoctorWhoPrefersToFlySolo · 25/11/2013 17:00

I'm on my laptop, so I can only judge by that.

SatinSandals · 25/11/2013 16:59

I have no problem on my laptop, but so many problems on my iPad that it is not worth using it.

DoctorWhoPrefersToFlySolo · 25/11/2013 16:57

Still doing it. Driving me to go and do something mad!

LatinForTelly · 25/11/2013 13:11

Yes me too to the google chrome message. All the time. At least I will get something done

RandallFloyd · 25/11/2013 13:05

Same here.
I think it's the ads still because a lot of the time I haven't got the adverts at all, just a blank area with 'default image' written in the corner.

DoctorWhoPrefersToFlySolo · 25/11/2013 13:05

Me too SicknSpan I'm getting the google chrome message. a lot

SicknSpan · 25/11/2013 13:01

Anyone else still having problems? Depending on which device I am using, I keep getting either "Safari cannot open the page requested as the server is not responding"
or

"Oops! Google chrome could not connect to Try reloading

It is really hit and miss whether I get access to the pages I'm after.

Hi all,

Apols, we had a bit of a glitch with the ads but they should be ok now.

Tech finished their work on site and we were a bit bouncy (tech term) for a bit but that should be fixed now - apologies for that.

Please do pop over to Site Stuff and give us a shout if you have any further problems.

Thanks for your help- will do.

LIZS · 25/11/2013 08:02

satin that was what happened to me yesterday but didn't by the time tech asked me for more info - can you respond with same info as he had asked me at 14:36 ?

SatinSandals · 25/11/2013 07:23

If I go on 'last 15 mins' or 'last hour' it takes me to a local page with error. Posting anything is slow.

SoupDragon · 25/11/2013 07:07

Please tell me that this advertising that is now each side of the thread isn't staying?!

The side advertising has been here on and off for ages. However, I'm sure it used to be fixed and move with the text IYSWIM. I came across the sort that moved on another site and you're right - it's horrendous. I had to cover it up.

LovesBeingHereAgain · 25/11/2013 05:47

A long day for tech yesterday!

MrsTerryPratchett · 25/11/2013 01:36

Is that what Tech has been doing all this time?

ThenSheSaid · 25/11/2013 00:29

It is a very sludgy colour. Sad

Tweasels · 25/11/2013 00:18

Erm, why is the bottom of my screen a weird green colour? The background behind where I type my post, the emoticons and the shortcut list at the bottom is a VERY WEIRD GREEN COLOUR.

ChippingInLovesAutumn · 25/11/2013 00:06

Please tell me that this advertising that is now each side of the thread isn't staying?! (It's organix at the moment). When I scroll up and down the advert stays still but the MN text moves, it's like the screen is on a race track.

If it's staying I'm going to have to leave - for me it induces motion sickness :(

sanssoleil · 24/11/2013 23:07

Just AAaarrgghh all of the^^
