Is mumsnet falling apart?

As well as "we're offline every thirty seconds " madness, it now tells me that the search function for unanswered messages is broken until 3 May. Is Tech on holiday? Got the sack?

Come on MN please don't die on me!

Mine broke in the middle of the night and I didn't even get the "we're offline" message. Just internet explorer cannot display this page Sad

HecateTrivia · 02/05/2012 06:47

Yes, I get that too - can't connect to the server, it may be busy or blah blah blah.

I think they're going to need to spend some cash on upgrading...

LadyBabsWalthamCuddles · 02/05/2012 06:50

I don't care as long as they fix it Sad having trouble sleeping recently and I NEED MN to be working

ThisWeekonFancyPuffin · 02/05/2012 07:17

Could we at least have a good offline message like this

Tee2072 · 02/05/2012 07:19

In technical terms, MN's servers seem to be fucked.

Hello. Sorry about all this - we are on the case.

The Unanswered Messages search doesn't work at the mo because we've turned it off for a bit - in an attempt to reduce the strain on the server...

We hope to have it back on again tomorrow.

Duck Tape. That's the answer to everything. Even dodgy servers.

FarelyKnuts · 02/05/2012 11:00

Does it only work on ducks? This duck tape?

Could try duct tape if it does.. Wink

SoupDragon · 02/05/2012 11:04

Duck tape

Perhaps you need to spend more time in DIY stores Wink

Let's not start the duck/duct tape thread again..........

Has to add that as I just googled and was fascinated to discover the wealth of material out there relating to uses of duct/Duck tape. Who knew?

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end

I think this should read

SecretNutellaFix · 02/05/2012 12:05

are we increasing our server capacity then?

LadyBabsWalthamCuddles · 02/05/2012 12:36

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, please don't be THE END!!

OFRS bag at the ready, can the DC come if we have to evacuate? They're very cute and I'll bring wine and chocolate
